Where people can live to be 150,000 years old
EPIC 228813918 b orbits its star every 4.5 hours, so one day on Earth is equivalent to five years on this planet.

An international team of scientists used data from NASA's Kepler space telescope to measure the orbits of distant planets to discoverplanetEPIC 228813918 boutside the solar system rotates many times faster than EarthThe research results were then sent to the scientific journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society of the UK, according to MSN.
PlanetEPIC 228813918 borbits an M-type dwarf star called EPIC 228813918. With an orbital time of just under 4.5 hours, a day on Earth would be equivalent to more than 5 years on this planet. So if you lived onEPIC 228813918 b, humans can reach a lifespan of up to150,000 years.
However, scientists believe that the strong radiation created when the planetEPIC 228813918 bmoving too close how can mom affect life here.If you live a normal life, you will sleep for up to 2 years each time you lie down, so those 150,000 years will pass very quickly.
Interestingly, EPIC 228813918 b is approximately the size of Earth, with an estimated composition of 45% iron. But it is not the shortest orbital planet ever discovered. The planet KOI 1843.03, which orbits its M-dwarf star in just 4 minutes, is also about the same size and has a very high iron composition.
