PRESENTATION OUTLINE

WOLF 1061C

THE CLOSEST PLANET TO US THAT MAY SUPPORT LIFE

WOLF IS RELATIVELY CLOSE

  • It is 14 light years away.
  • For comparison mars is 12.5 light minutes away
  • So using our fastest space ship it would take us 399543.4 years for us to get there

SO... WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT IT

  • It’s orbit around its star takes 10 days
  • It’s is almost 4 times as big as earth
  • It orbits much closer to it’s star than we do
  • It’s star is a lot colder than ours.

WE ARE NOT SURE THE STAR WILL ROTATE

THIS WILL MEAN THERE WILL BE ONE VERY HOT AND ONE VERY COLD SIDE

WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO BUT

200 YEARS AGO THE STIRLING ENGINE WAS JUST MADE
