LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17, 2019 (Xinhua) A NASA exoplanet study found that 17 exoplanets may have oceans containing liquid water. Under the ice crust
NASA identifies exoplanets It is a world outside our solar system. Water from these oceans may sometimes burst through the ice in the form of geysers or natural geysers.
A team of scientists has calculated the amount of geyser activity on the planet for the first time. They identified two exoplanets close enough to allow these eruption signals to be observed using telescopes.
“Our analysis suggests that 17 of these worlds may have icy surfaces,” said Leni Quick, an expert at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. But it receives enough internal heat from the decay of radioactive elements and tidal forces, causing tidal phenomena from the host star. To maintain the internal environment
All of the planets in our study may still be displaying cryovolcanic activity, Quick added. (Cold volcanic) in the form of a cloud of smoke resembling a geyser. This is due to the amount of internal heat they are exposed to.
