The discovery of the exoplanet, a super-Earth called Kepler-735c, is all down to something called transit timing variations, ...

NASA has explored the space beyond Earth and our solar system with spacecraft like Voyagers 1 and 2, and how we’ve discovered ...

The planet, called Kepler-452b, is about 60% larger in diameter than Earth and circles a sun-like star that sits about 1,400 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus.

Earth and Kepler-452b compared. NASA If so, he said, "it would likely have a mass about five times that of Earth and a surface gravity of about twice that of Earth.

Since Kepler's laws of motion dictate that celestial bodies orbit more slowly when farther from the sun, we are now moving at ...

Kepler-186f may be close to Earth size, but it’s hardly close by. It sits some 490 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, and circles its home star, Kepler-186, in just 130 days.

Kepler's imagined worlds 11 photos. Kepler-452b may be Earth's close cousin, but living on the newfound world would still be an alien experience. A group of pioneers magically transported to the ...

NASA's planet-hunting Kepler Telescope has spotted the first roughly Earth-sized world orbiting in the "Goldilocks zone" of another star – offering perhaps the best bet so far for life elsewhere ...

Nasa scientists have announced the discovery of Kepler 452b, also known as 'Earth 2.0', an earth-like planet in our galaxy.. Over the course of years of data-gathering by the Kepler space ...

Back in March of 2009, the Kepler space telescope launched into the universe with the goal of identifying Earth-like planets. Over the years, it did manage that mission, occasionally finding a ...

NASA's Kepler space telescope has found the first confirmed Earth-size planets orbiting another star, astronomers announced Tuesday, a major milestone in an ongoing project aimed at finding out ...
