Astronomers have detected signs that a giant planet may exist in the habitable zone of the extremely hot star HD 156295, located about 140 light-years from Earth. If the candidate, named HD 156295 b, is confirmed, an unprecedented star system could emerge.
The planet's signs are found in the vicinity of HD 156295. It's a hot object with a temperature of 7500–7800°C of the spectral class A, which is about 140 light years from Earth. Scientists believe that this lamp, which is nine times the sun's brightness, can have an exoplanet HD 156295b, which makes one turn in about 2,200 days.
Astronomers believe that they have made an important discovery: a planet in the habitable zone of a star of type A, one of the hottest stars around which a planet has been identified so far. If the discovery is confirmed, it would be the first known planet in the habitable zone of a massive star of type ...
