What If You Lived on Kepler 22-b?
What If・6 minutes read
Kepler-22b is a potentially habitable exoplanet located within the habitable zone of a sun-like star, with characteristics such as mass, radius, temperature, and orbital dynamics similar to Earth but with unique challenges for potential human exploration.
Insights
- Kepler-22b, located in a habitable zone 635 light years away, could support life due to its potential for liquid water, orbiting a sun-like star.
- Despite its potential habitability, Kepler-22b's extreme temperature variations due to axial tilt and the challenges of reaching it, such as cryogenic sleep requirements and unknown factors like gravity, pose significant obstacles to human exploration.
