NASA's Kepler spacecraft has spotted something pretty nifty: "Earth's bigger, older cousin." The Earth-size planet, Kepler-452b, was found circling a sun-like star in an orbit that takes 385 days. The ...

A distant cousin to Earth’s Sun harbors an Earth-like planet in its habitable zone that, in theory, could sustain life. It is the nearest exoplanet twin to Earth yet found. Designated Kepler 452b, the ...

The Kepler probe's focus is on finding another habitable planet. — -- NASA says we're on our way to discovering Earth 2.0. The Kepler Space Telescope has located a planet and star closely ...

A new analysis of data from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft increases the number of habitable exoplanets thought to exist in this galaxy. By Dennis Overbye After nine and a half years in orbit, 530,506 stars ...

Nasa has discovered 1,284 exoplanets, 550 of which could be rocky planets similar to Earth. Using data from the Kepler Space Telescope, a team of astronomers analysed 7,056 detected objects, 4,302 of ...
