Researchers discover Earth-sized planet Gliese 12 b only 40 light years away (Space) 24/May/2024 Mark 1333 2024-05-24 | Scientists at the University of Warwick say they have been part of an international team to discover a new habitable Earth-sized planet.Working with Nasa and the European Space Agency (ESA), they say Gliese 12 b has the same temperature as the 2022 UK heatwave and is one of the few known rocky planets where humans could theoretically survive.But the planet's distance of 40 lights years away means it is too far away to experience more closely, the university said.Warwick astrophysicist Dr Thomas Wilson said: "This is a really exciting discovery and will help our research into planets similar to Earth across our galaxy."The planet has an estimated surface temperature of about 42C, but the scientists said they were still unsure of what, if any, its atmosphere was like.It orbits its version of the sun every 12.8 days and is a similar size to Earth.The planet’s equivalent of the Sun, called Gliese 12, is a cool, red dwarf located in the constellation Pisces and the planet receives 1.6 times more energy from its star as Earth does from the sun, the university said.The team used data from Nasa and ESA’s satellites to confirm the planet’s existence and characteristics like its size, temperature and distance away from Earth.There is a Space and Science playlist on this channel:youtube.com/playlist?list=PL93gCV9Iym3fJEWLmRc0cOi8LjCLhgc6E#earthlikeplanet#gliese12b#habitableplanet#space#spacediscovery

Austrian man discovers mammoth bones in wine cellar (Austria) 24/May/2024 Mark 1333 2024-05-24 | The find has been called an "archaeological sensation” by researchers from the Austrian Archaeological Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the OeAW.The winemaker, Andreas Pernerstorfer, came across a number of huge bones, buried deep in his wine cellar in the village of Gobelsburg, in the district of Krems, west of Vienna.He reported his find to the authorities, who identified them as the bones of at least three Stone Age mammoths.Mr Pernerstorfer told the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation, ORF, that he was renovating his wine cellar when he made the discovery.“I thought it was just a piece of wood left by my grandfather. But then I dug it out a bit and then I remembered that in the past my grandfather said he had found teeth. And then I immediately thought it was a mammoth," he said.Researchers from the Austrian Archaeological Institute have been excavating the bones since the middle of May.Archaeologists Thomas Einwögerer and Hannah Parow-Souchon say that stone artefacts and charcoal found at the site indicate that the bones are between 30,000 and 40,000 years old.#mammoth #fossils#fossil
