Miniature Binary Star System: 3 Earth-Sized Exoplanets Discovered!

Описание: Uncover the mysteries of a unique planetary system! In this video, we explore a recent discovery by the University of Liège, Belgium, where three Earth-sized exoplanets were found in a binary star system. This system, named TOI-2267, challenges our understanding of planetary formation and stability.
Located 190 light-years away in the Cepheus constellation, TOI-2267 consists of two M-type red dwarf stars, each with its own set of transiting planets. The planets have incredibly short orbital periods, with distances from their host stars that are a fraction of the Earth-Moon distance. Imagine standing on one of these exoplanets and witnessing two red dwarfs in the sky!
This discovery defies the 'three-body problem,' which suggests instability in multi-star planetary systems. TOI-2267 is a fascinating exception, offering a new architecture for planetary systems and a unique laboratory for studying planet formation and evolution.
Join us as we delve into the details of this extraordinary find, made possible by NASA's TESS mission and the SHERLOCK detection software. Learn about the future of exoplanet science and how it may reveal more about these intriguing worlds.
