TOI 700d
Distance: 101.4 Lightyears
Star: TOI 700
Constellation: Dorado
TOI 700d is an interesting planet that was by Emily Gilbert on January 3, 2020, using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite or TESS. Due to how new the discovery happens to be, we do not know a ton about the planet as of yet. However, what we do know seems promising.
We know it falls within the habitable zone of a Red Dwarf star called TOI 700. This exoplanet also gets about 86% of the energy from its star as the Earth does from the Sun. This is not surprising due to the fact that we’re dealing with a Red Dwarf. Yet it could also be good in part as a planet can be somewhat closer to its star in situations like this. TOI 700d is said to be one of the planets that could house human life mostly due to a few important factors. It is almost the exact size of Earth, has a similar magnetic field, and likely similar gravity. Yet some issues it does face is simply the lack of energy it gets from its Sun. On top of the fact that it takes 37.43 days to orbit its star. The latter can be problematic in numerous ways.
