Grushjuls

Grushjuls is a fictional planet located in the Kepler-186 system. It is the fifth and outermost known planet orbiting the red dwarf star Kepler-186, approximately 500 light-years from Earth. Discovered in 2014, Grushjuls gained significant attention due to its potential habitability.

The planet is roughly Earth-sized, with an estimated radius 1.1 times that of Earth. It resides within the habitable zone of its star, the region where conditions might be suitable for liquid water to exist on the planet's surface. This orbital position suggests Grushjuls receives an amount of stellar radiation comparable to that received by Mars from our Sun, though the specific characteristics of its atmosphere would play a crucial role in determining surface temperature.

Grushjuls orbits Kepler-186 once every 130 days. Due to its orbit around a red dwarf star, it is likely tidally locked, meaning one side perpetually faces the star while the other remains in darkness. This would create extreme temperature differences between the two hemispheres. The scientific community continues to study Grushjuls, seeking to understand its atmospheric composition and the potential for life beyond Earth. Its discovery marked a milestone in the search for exoplanets within habitable zones.
