Short description: Potentially habitable exoplanet
Gliese 1002 b is a potentially habitable exoplanet located 16 light years away, in the constellation of Cetus.[1] It is one of the potentially habitable planets closest to Earth.[2] The planet, which has an Earth SImilarity Index of 86%, is in the habitable zone of its parent star.[3] Gliese 1002 b has an estimated mass of 1.08 Earth masses, 1.03 times the radius of Earth, an orbital period of 10.3 days, and a surface temperature of 261 Kelvin.[4]
The star, Gliese 1002, is a quiet red dwarf not believed to release flares that could harm the atmosphere.[5]
