Scientists Discover A New Earth-Size Planet And Name It After A Biscuit; Find Out Why

Astronomers have made an exciting discovery as they spotted a new planet that is “practically the same size” as earth. The Speculoos project aims to find rocky exoplanets around ultracool stars, such as red dwarfs and brown dwarfs. On the other hand, the night side would be locked in endless darkness.” Back in 2000, a similar discovery was made when space scientists found TRAPPIST-1, a cool red dwarf star with seven known planets. Scientists believe that despite being much cooler than the sun, the planets around red dwarf stars can be warm enough to sustain some life forms. However, in the case of planets like Speculoos-3b, sustaining a lifeform on this planet seems unlikely considering it is too close to the red dwarf star.
