To be classified as a planet, researchers must confirm its status within a 99 percent likelihood. The research that led to the confirmation of the 1,284 new planets analyzed data collected by the Kepler as of July, when the space telescope had identified 4,302 potential planets. This data ...

"This is one of only a few systems with multiple, small, habitable-zone planets that we know of," said Emily Gilbert, a postdoctoral fellow at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. TESS Finds System's Second Earth-Size Planet by NASA Goddard on YouTube Gilbert...
The search for life elsewhere in the Universe typically focuses on exoplanets that are in a star’s “habitable zone,” a distance where temperatures allow liquid water to persist on their surfaces. However, it’s possible for anexoplanetthat’s too distant and cold to still have ...
Dr Batalha said the new finds Kepler 1638b and Kepler-1229b were intriguing targets in the search for habitable planets. 巴塔利亚博士说新发现的开普勒-1638b和开普勒-1229b都是在寻找可居住行星过程中的有趣的目标。 The Nasa Ames researcher said the Kepler mission was part of a "larger strategic ...

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...
“We don’t know how many planets TESS will find around the hundreds of stars in our catalog or whether they will be habitable,” Kaltenegger said. “But the odds are in our favor. Some studies indicate that there are many rocky planets in the habitable zone of cool stars, like the on...
