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...
A planet more like Earth than any yet discovered has been identified as a potential future home for mankind.Kepler 22b contains both land and water and has temperatures which average around 72 degrees (22 Celsius).It also contains the right atmosphere to potentially support life.It is,however,...
Scientists say they discovered an earth-like planet or-biting the star closest to our planet other than the sun. It is the closest planet ever found outside our solar system that could support life as we know it. This planet is just4. 2 light years away from us. It is so close that...
IT’S the planet we’ve all been waiting for. Earlier this month, rumours swirled that astronomers had discovered an Earth-like planet orbiting the closest star to our own, the aptly named Proxima Centauri. Well, the planet’s real, but don’t pack your interstellar bags yet...
Scientists have discovered a planet not much bigger than Earth that could be covered in oceans and has the right temperature to support life. And it is only 20.5 light years away.McSmith, Andy

The hunt for exoplanets has been heating up in recent years. Since it began its mission in 2009, over four thousand exoplanet candidates have been discovered by the Kepler mission, several hundred of which have been confirmed to be "Earth-like" (i.e. ter
A new study focuses on K2-18b, an exoplanet (系外行星) like the earth discovered in 2015, orbiting a red dwarf star (矮星) close enough to receive about the same amount of radiation from its star as the earth does from the sun. Recently, scientists have discovered gas giants that have...
