With knowledge only of the luminosity of the star (1/600 that of the sun), the mass of the planet (1.3 times that of Earth), and the length of its orbit (11.2 days), the team was able to predict that, with a variety of possible atmospheres, it would be possible for Proxima b to harbor liquid water on its surface.

After years of scrutinizing the closest star to Earth, a red dwarf known as Proxima Centauri, astronomers have finally found evidence for a planet, slightly bigger than Earth and well within the star's habitable zone — the range of orbits in which liquid water could exist on its surface.

THINKING OUTSIDE THE GOLDILOCKS ZONE The hunt for extraterrestrial life has long focused on planets at a just - right distance from alien stars, where liquid water can exist on a planet's surface.

After years of scrutinizing the closest star to Earth, a red dwarf known as Proxima Centauri, astronomers have finally found evidence for a planet, slightly bigger than Earth, well within the star's habitable zone — the range of orbits in which liquid water could exist on its surface.

Although some news reporters optimistically dubbed the planet «Goldilocks,» claiming it has just the right temperature for liquid water, this heavyweight is most likely a gaseous world lacking a solid surface on which water could collect.

Without a sustained thick atmosphere of heat - trapping greenhouse gases, the planet would have been too cold to sustain liquid water on its surface for long periods of time, Mojzsis argues.

One research team predicted that it would be possible for the exoplanet Proxima b — orbiting our nearest neighbor star — to harbor liquid water on its surface.

«This is the first exoplanet that really has the right conditions for water to exist in liquid form on its surface.»

A stunning claim that 40 percent of our galaxy's 160 billion red dwarf stars have plus - sized Earths orbiting the right distance for liquid water to exist on their surfaces, a condition believed to be necessary for life.

But conditions that allowed for the presence of liquid water on the surface of Mars must have lasted for at least 10,000 years, Barnhart said.

Planet G - the sixth member in Gliese 581's family - orbits right in the middle of that system's habitable region, where temperatures would be suitable for liquid water to pool on the planet's surface.

The holy grail for finding worlds beyond Earth that are hospitable to life has been planets just the right distance from their mother stars where liquid water can exist on the surface — the so - called «Goldilocks» zone.

Under red dwarf stars, plant - type life on land may not be possible because photosynthesis might not generate sufficient energy from infrared light to produce the oxygen needed to block dangerous ultraviolet light from such stars at the very close orbital distances needed for a planet to be warmed enough to have liquid water on its surface.

Without an atmosphere, it would be impossible for a world to maintain liquid water on its surface, which is essential for the evolution of life as we know it.

According to calculations performed for the NASA Star and Exoplanet Database, the distance from 41 Arae B where an Earth - type rocky planet may have liquid water on its surface has been estimated to be between 0.593 and 1.176 AU — between the orbital distances of Mercury and Earth in the Solar System.

For any star, it's possible to calculate the range of distances where orbiting planets could have liquid water on the surface.

For an Earth - type planet, the orbital distance where it would have liquid water zone on its surface would be around 0.884 AU, where the orbital period would be 392 days (1.073 years) if the star actually does have around 60 percent of a Solar - mass.

Since K2 - 18b is likely rocky, this means the planet could have liquid water on its surface, which is one of many conditions for supporting life.

According to calculations performed for the NASA Star and Exoplanet Database, the distance from Ross 128 where an Earth - type rocky planet may have liquid water on its surface has been estimated to be between 0.06 and 0.11 AU — well within the orbital distance of Mercury in the Solar System.

The orbital distance from Zavijava where a planet currently would be «comfortable» for Earth - type carbon - based lifeforms with liquid water on the planetary surface in the so - called habitable zone is centered near 1.87 AU — between the orbital distances of Mars and the Main Asteroid Belt in the Solar System.

First, conditions on Mars are such that any water reaching the surface supposedly would not remain liquid for very long but would boil, freeze, or poof into vapor.

Although other planets with nearly the same mass as Earth have been discovered, Gliese 581g is the smallest planet that is also in the «Goldilocks zone,» or at a distance from its host star to make the planet's temperature cool enough for liquid water to exist on its surface.

Accounting for the relatively greater infrared output of M - stars like Kapteyn's Star, the distance from Kapteyn's where an Earth - type planet would have liquid water on its surface is centered around only 0.158 AU — well within the orbital distance of Mercury in the Solar System.

Other factors also suggest Mars once had a much thicker atmosphere, such as evidence of persistent presence of liquid water on the planet's surface long ago even though the atmosphere is too scant for liquid water to persist on the surface now.
