5 years ago, astronomers discovered a lonely planet in a moving group of stars AB Gold Fish. Hot heavenly body the name CFBDSIR 2149-0403, has an age of “only” 50-120 million years. It is not bound by gravity to stars or any other galactic objects, therefore, does not have a “permanent residence” and just drifting in space.

Further research showed scientists that this planet is an orphan. suitable for life, that is, organisms can already inhabit it, able to withstand high temperatures. In addition, CFBDSIR 2149-0403, which is the closest planet to us (it located 130 light years from Earth), may become new home to human civilization. Despite the fact that while she too hot for people, in the future, as it cools surface, the colonization of this “orphan” will be hypothetically is possible.

According to the information received by the researchers, the size of this the celestial body is 4 times the size of Jupiter. Today surface temperature of CFBDSIR 2149-0403 is around 400 degrees Celsius, however, given that the orphaned planet rapidly moving away from the mother star, the temperature on it will decrease over time. This may cause there is liquid water.

Experts suggest that if space progress will not stand still, then after about 100 years our descendants will be able to colonize the planet CFBDSIR 2149-0403. Just imagine what scope will open to humanity on this huge earth number 2.
