![]() ![]() The effects of a nearby, active dwarf star would also alter the development of biochemistry on exoplanets. ![]() The modeling software used (Universe Sandbox) calculates a 54 percent chance of life developing on this world, although several factors (chemistry, geology, and the presence of water) would effect the development of life. Average temperatures were set to 20 C, as described in the study from George Washington University. The world has an iron core larger than Earth to allow for the strong magnetic field suggested in the study, and atmospheric pressure was approximated at 10 percent denser than Earth. The exoplanet imagined here has 50 percent more mass than Earth, and is 10 percent larger. Here’s a look at what such a perfect world might look like, given the ideal conditions suggested in the study. A superhabitable planet based on a “perfect world” described in a new study from Washington State University astronomers, who identified 24 planets orbiting other suns that may be even friendlier to life than the Earth. ![]()
