Crepp from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana and researchers for the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have detected an Earth-like planet, tagged Kepler-186f, orbiting the habitable zone of a cool star.Usa Today Magazine
___However, in 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in a “habitable” zone. This is the distance from a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for liquid water. So far, only a small slice of our galaxy, the ...

galaxy,” said William Borucki of NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., the mission’s science principal investigator. “We went from zero to 68 Earth-sized planet candidates and zero to 54 candidates in the habitable zone, some of which could have moons with liquid water....

Earlier this week, scientists revealed that NASA's TESS satellite discovered its first Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone of a distant star. Naturally, this "Second Earth" has people intrigued—but what's even more exciting is there may be an entire universe full of them. Astronomers ha...
"More crucially, this planet resides within the habitable zone of its host star, the region around a star where the temperature is suitable for liquid water to exist. It orbits around its host star with a period of 207.5 days, comparable to Earth's one-year period," Gu added. ...
Seven Earth-sized planets have been observed by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope around a tiny, nearby, ultra-cool dwarf star called TRAPPIST-1. Three of these planets are firmly in the habitable zone. The TRAPPIST-1 star, an ultra-cool dwarf, has seven Earth-size planets orbiting it. This...
