Join us on an interstellar journey as we explore the enigma of the newly discovered exoplanet, LP 791-18 d. Situated 90 light-years away in the southern constellation of Crater, this fascinating world orbiting a red dwarf star exhibits a stark resemblance to Earth in terms of size but holds secrets that could redefine our perception of alien worlds. With its active volcanoes potentially sustaining an atmosphere and a tidally locked surface, LP 791-18 d is a cosmic wonder with a permanent day and night side. This video delves into intriguing aspects such as the planet's celestial neighborhood, tidal heating, and its potential for hosting life. We also look at the indispensable roles of NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and Spitzer Space Telescope in the discovery of this captivating world. Stay tuned for future observations with the James Webb Space Telescope that could further enrich our understanding of the universe's boundless potential for life. Join us as we marvel at the fascinating secrets of the cosmos, taking one small step further in our exploration of the infinite.
