The article discusses the discovery of Kepler-22b, an Earth-like extrasolar planet discovered by astronomers with the U.S. National Aeronautics & Space Administration's (NASA) Kepler mission which is within the habitable zone ...
“The team has discovered the most earth-like planet yet, and more importantly, has proved the power of a new technique that is sensitive (灵敏的) to detecting planets that are fit for people to live on,” Turner said in a statement.In the last decade, astronomers have detected more ...
Exoplanet Hunters The newly found extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, are part of a vast menagerie of celestial bodies discovered in recent years. Our Milky Way galaxy alone is now known to have hundreds of billions of planets circling its stars. Exoplanets that are Earth-size, are rocky or ...
Earth-Size Planets Around Sunlike Star.")And because of their sizes and orbits, the newfound planets are likely either rocky—like Earth—or watery, NASA scientists said. The two planets are located 1,200 light-years away in a five-planet system orbiting a star dubbed Kepler-62.Called Kepler...

Scientists have found over 5,000 exoplanets since the first such world was confirmed orbiting a sunlike star in 1995. We explore the ones most similar to Earth.
WELCOME TO MARS Mars is the planet that is most like the earth. Its year has seasons like our year. A day on Mars is about the same length as a day on the earth.Still, Mars is very different from the earth. There is almost no oxygen in the air,so humans couldn't breathe. There...
Planetary scientists have calculated that there are hundreds of billions of Earth-like planets in our galaxy which might support life. The new research, led by PhD student Tim Bovaird and Associate Professor Charley Lineweaver from The Australian National University (ANU), made the finding by applyi...
Earth came early to the party in the evolving universe. According to a new theoretical study, when our solar system was born 4.6 billion years ago only eight percent of the potentially habitable planets that will ever form in the universe existed. And, t
