[Audi MediaCenter] Nasa announced that its Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) discovered a planet 31 light-years away that could potentially be habitable. The planet, known as GJ 357 d, is six times the size of Earth and orbits a dwarf star. Due to the planet’s placement on the outside edge of the star’s habitable zone, it’s possible liquid water could be found on GJ 375 d’s surface. The planet gets the same amount of cosmic energy from its sun as Mars does from ours, but it’s not clear if there’s a dense enough atmosphere to hold in the heat. We should learn more about GJ 375 d over the next six years as Nasa brings two next-gen telescopes to life. These should be capable of capturing more information about the planet and tell us if oceans or mountains inhabit the orb. [CBS This Morning]   How to Copy Google Drive Folders If you need to copy a Google Drive folder from a web browser, Google doesn’t make it easy for you.
