gledalite

Gledalite is a proposed exoplanet candidate located approximately 1,500 light-years away from Earth. Its existence is inferred from data gathered by the Kepler Space Telescope during its K2 mission. Gledalite is believed to be orbiting a K-type star, a star that is smaller and cooler than our Sun.

The planet is estimated to have a radius roughly twice that of Earth, placing it in the "super-Earth" or "mini-Neptune" category. Its orbital period is thought to be around 15 Earth days. Based on its estimated size and the type of star it orbits, Gledalite may possess a substantial atmosphere. The planet's mass and composition are not yet well-determined, making it difficult to assess its potential habitability.

Further observations are required to confirm Gledalite's status as a planet and to gather more detailed information about its characteristics. Scientists are using various follow-up studies, including radial velocity measurements, to try and validate the Kepler observations and to learn more about Gledalite's mass and atmospheric properties. The study of exoplanets like Gledalite contributes to our understanding of planetary formation and the diversity of worlds beyond our solar system.
