Gliese 357 d
Gliese 357 d is an exoplanet, considered to be a "Super-Earth" within the circumstellar habitable zone of its parent star.[3][4][5][6] The planet orbits Gliese 357, 31 light-years from the Solar System,[4] The system is part of the Hydra constellation.[4]
The planet was discovered by the TESS team and announced in July 2019. The data confirming the presence of the planet was uncovered in ground-based observation dating back to 1998 while confirming the TESS detection of Gliese 357 b, a “hot earth” that orbits much closer to the parent star.[6] Even though Gliese 357 d is 20% closer to Gliese 357 than Earth is to the Sun, Gliese 357 is much smaller than the Sun. So it receives as much energy as Mars. As a result, it is estimated that the average temperature is -64°F (-53°C), but this temperature is survivable for humans; if there is a thick enough atmosphere, the actual temperature could be much higher. If humans traveled there using modern spacecraft, it would take them about 660,000 years to get there.[a] The planet is 6.1 times more massive than Earth and 2.3 times Earth's size.[8]
