UNAWE Space Scoop - Beach-Friendly Earth-Like Exoplanets

<p><a href= "https://spacescoop.org/en/scoops/2221/beach-friendly-earth-like-exoplanets/"> https://spacescoop.org/en/scoops/2221/beach-friendly-earth-like-exoplanets/</a></p> <p>Recently a team led by Tadahiro Kimura from the University of Tokyo and Masahiro Ikoma from the NAOJ, the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, developed a new computer simulation and got some positive results. </p> <p> </p> <p>By making a computer model of water resulting from interactions between the hot, molten surface of a young planet and its early atmosphere, the team found that the water content in planets can range much wider than expected.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p> </p> <p>The study then goes on to show that within this range, there could be more of these Earth-sized planets, maybe as much as 3% of those that are found, in the habitable zones of red dwarfs with enough water to support a temperate climate.</p> <p> </p> <p>We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Just visit: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy">https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy</a> and donate as much as you can!</p> <p>Share the podcast with your friends and send the Patreon link to them too!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Every bit helps!
