Kepler 22b contains both land and water and has temperatures which average around 22℃. It also contains the right atmosphere to potentially support life. It is, however, 600 light years from Earth. The planet, where a year lasts 290 days, was first spotted two years ago. However, NASA sc...
今天这个Kepler-452b就是随着2013年5月之前的一批新成果一起发布的。我感觉有点开普勒望远镜在系外行星领...
Kepler 22b – The ‘New Earth’ – Could Have Oceans And Continents, Scientists Claimby Andy Bloxham
Today Kepler-452b is receiving 10 percent more energy from its parent star than the Earth is fro...
the velocities do not lead to a reliable orbit and mass determination, they are able to constrain the mass to a 3{\sigma} upper limit of 124 MEarth, safely in the regime of planetary masses, thus earning the designation Kepler-22b. The radiative equilibrium temperature is 262K for a planet...
The occultation time compared to the main transit time shows the planet has a circular orbit. The discovery of light from this planet confirms the predictions by researchers and theoretical models that the emission would be detectable by Kepler. This new discovery also demonstrates Kepler has the ...
Habitable Zone - G5 Star Planet Kepler 22b Is A Warm Super-EarthNews Staff
Kepler, U.S. satellite that detected extrasolar planets. During its missions it discovered 2,662 extrasolar planets, about two-thirds of all planets then known. Kepler discovered between 2 and 12 planets that are roughly Earth-size within their stars’ h
Towards the end of 2012, the telescope finished its initial 3.5-year mission and began what was anticipated to be a four-year extended phase. This new phase was to help search for Earth-like planets that reside in a star system's habitable zone. Enough data had been collected on the 156...
