While similarly sized planets have been found before, the latest one, known as Kepler-452b, is circling a star that is very similar but older than the sun at a distance about the same as Earth’s orbit. “It’s great progress in finding a planet like Earth that is similar in size and...

根据“Researchers have discovered the first Earth-sized planet. It was first marked by NASA’s Kepler telescope (望远镜), so it’s called Kepler-186f.”可知,这颗行星是由NASA的开普勒望远镜首次标记的,因此得名。故选C。 (2)题详解: 细节理解题。根据Barclay说的“It’s possible for life to ...
A citizen scientist has discovered a giant gaseous planet about 379 light-years from Earth, orbiting a star with the same mass as the Sun, NASA has said. The exoplanet, called TOI-2180 b, was discovered in data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). TOI-2180 b is al...

WASHINGTON, April 15 (Xinhua) -- NASA's plant-hunting spacecraft launched last year discovered an Earth-sized planet and a warm sub-Neptune-sized one in a nearby star system. The study published on Monday in the journal The Astrophysical Journal Letters reported the Earth-sized planet called ...
In May, a Super-Earth described as "one in a million" because it has a size and orbit similar to Earth was discovered in deep space. In June, a team of German astronomers discovered two super-Earths just a short 11 light-years away from Earth. ...
