The Earth's twin was lost 111 light years away - the planet completely duplicates the globe. Perhaps intelligent beings also live on it?
The celestial body called K2-18b belongs to the order of exoplanets. Astronomers have found it near the red dwarf star K2-18. By the way, several exoplanets revolve near the star at once, but only one of them can be habitable, and this is K2-18b.
In its structure and characteristics, it is almost a twin of the Earth. It has been established that oxygen is present in the upper layers of the planet's atmosphere, which reacts with other substances.
According to the author of the study, Ryan Cloutier, the second exoplanet is several times larger than the Earth and is not in the optimal place, that is, not in the habitable zone, and this prevents life from originating on it. As for K2-18b, it resembles Earth as much as possible: its atmosphere definitely contains oxygen, carbon dioxide and other substances necessary to support life on an exoplanet.
In such proportions, they can be formed in a process similar to photosynthesis. Clouds resembling steam can also be traced on two exoplanets. Both space objects are located at a distance of 111 light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo.
Due to the serious distance, experts cannot say for sure whether there is organic life on exoplanets or if they are uninhabited. All the facts indicate that the first assumption is true, but it still needs to be verified.
