An eighth planet, Kepler-90i, has been found in a distant solar system, matching our own in numbers. Even more amazing, it is machines not humans that made the discovery. NASA (美国国家航空航天局) joined with Google to announce the finding. This eighth planet orbits the star known as Ke...
Kepler's second law,law of areas,law of equal areas- a law concerning the speed at which planets travel; a line connecting a planet to the sun will sweep out equal areas in equal times; "Kepler's second law means that a planet's orbital speed changes with its distance from the sun"...
The addition of Kepler's sensitive photometry (as well as more sophisticated planet-hunting from the ground) means that astronomers have found more "super-Earths," or planets that are just slightly larger than Earth but have a rocky surface. Kepler's finds also allow astronomers to begin ...

WASHINGTON, June 19 (Xinhua) -- U.S. space agency NASA announced Monday that its Kepler space telescope has discovered 219 new planet candidates outside our Solar System. Of those, 10 are near-Earth size and orbiting in their star's habitable zone, which is the range of distance from a...

Wallenstein sent Kepler to Sagan inSilesiaand supported the construction of aprinting pressfor him. In return Wallenstein expected horoscopes from Kepler...

Of the nearly 5,000 totalplanet candidatesfound to date, more than 3,200 now have been verified, and 2,325 of these were discovered by Kepler. Launched in March 2009, Kepler is the first NASA mission to find potentially habitable Earth-size planets. For four years, Kepler monitored 150,00...
37b, the exoplanet orbits the star Kepler-37 about 210 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lyra. It’s only one-third the size of Earth and smaller than Mercury, which makes it not only the smallest planet yet found outside the Solar System, but the smallest planet ever ...
