The climate of the world exhibits highly variable temperature values across different geographic regions. The lowest temperature ever recorded was -89.2°C in eastern Antarctica. This extreme cold is so dangerous that it would make it impossible for a human to remain outdoors for even a few minutes. On the other hand, an extreme heat of 70.7°C detected in Iran’s Lut Desert in 2005 creates a lethal environment for any form of life. Even these extreme values are kept within limits thanks to the pro

Taphao Thong (47 Ursae Majoris b), discovered in 1996 by Geoffrey Marcy and R. Paul Butler. The discovery was made using the radial velocity method at the Lick Observatory in California. This technique detects periodic oscillations in the host star caused by the gravitational influence of an orbiting planet, observed as Doppler shifts in the star’s spectrum.Unlike the “hot Jupiters” commonly found at the time of its discovery, 47 Ursae Majoris b orbits its star at a much greater distance, making

GJ 273 b, also known as Luyten b, is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star GJ 273 (Luyten’s Star), located in the constellation Canis Minor at a distance of approximately 12.3 light years from Earth. Discovered in 2017, this planet belongs to the class of planets with masses greater than Earth’s and is classified as a “super-Earth”.It has been determined that GJ 273 b resides within the habitable zone of its host star and is relatively close to Earth. Due to these characteristics, the planet
