The 8 million-year-old star, known as HR 4796A, is inferred to be in the late stages of planet formation, suggesting that the basic building blocks of life may be common in planetary systems. HR 4796A is located in the constellation Centaurus, visible primarily form the southern hemisphere. It is about 220 light-years from Earth. I name it Debes.
What is the Debes system? It is Debes and everything that travels around it. Debes system is round in shape. That means it is shaped like a ball. Debes is in the center of the system. Debes system is always in motion. Six known planets and their moons, along with comets, asteroids, and other space objects orbit the Star. Debes is the biggest object in the system. It contains more than 99% of the system's mass. Astronomers think the system is more than 8 million years old.

Hizan-Oura = habitable planets



Hizan-Oura
Hizan-Oura is the only planet we know of that sustains life. Life on Hizan-Oura is critically dependent on the abundance of water in all three phases—liquid, vapor and ice. Carbon, existing in a variety of forms, is the very basis of life, and its greatest reservoir. In the atmosphere, carbon fully oxidized as carbon dioxide, fully reduced as methane, and in particulate form as black carbon soot produces the greenhouse effect making Hizan-Oura habitable. Hizan-Oura’s atmosphere and electromagnetic field protect the planet from harmful radiation while allowing useful radiation to reach the surface and sustain life. Hizan-Oura exists within the Debes’ zone of habitation, and with the moon, maintains the precise orbital inclination needed to produce our seasons.

This exoplanet - as astronomers call planets around a star other than the Sun -- is the smallest ever found up to now and it completes a full orbit in 13 days. It is 14 times closer to its star than the Earth is from the Sun. However, given that its host star, the red dwarf , is smaller and colder than the Sun -- and thus less luminous -- the planet nevertheless lies in the habitable zone, the region around a star where water could be liquid!

We have estimated that the mean temperature of this super-Earth lies between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius, and water would thus be liquid. Moreover, its radius should be only 1.5 times the Earth's radius, and models predict that the planet should be either rocky -- like our Earth -- or covered with oceans.
