Kepler-442b completes one orbit every 112 days and gets about two-thirds as much light as Earth. The scientists give it a 97 percent chance of being in the habitable zone.

Kepler-438b is 470 light-years away and Kepler-442b is 1,100 light years away, according to CfA. “That’s a little far away,” Caldwell said, “We need to get to Mars first.” ...

"Kepler-442b, a rocky exoplanet 1206 light years from Earth and orbiting [in] its star's habitable zone, has a rating of 0.836. The Earth is at 0.829," the post reads.

Kepler-442b could be in the “Goldilocks zone” On the other hand, 442b is a third larger than Earth and has a 60% chance of being made up predominantly of rocks: 442B receives about two-thirds ...

Kepler-442b is about 33 percent larger than Earth, and completes an orbit every 112 days. It receives about two-thirds as much light as Earth, and has a 60 percent chance of being rocky.

That’s good news for these two planets, since Kepler-438b orbits its star every 35.2 days, and Kepler-442b circles its star once every 112 days – compare that with Earth, whose orbit takes 365 ...

If you thought the Kepler spacecraft’s glory days were over, think again. Today at the 227th meeting of the American Astronomical Society, astronomers announced a whopping 234 new exoplanet ...

Kepler-438b orbits a relatively cool star that's 475 light-years away and is 12 percent bigger than Earth. Kepler-442b is 33 percent bigger than Earth, and is 1,100 light-years from us.

Kepler-442b is about one-third larger than Earth, and the likelihood of it being rocky is around 60 per cent. To be in the habitable zone, an exoplanet must receive about as much sunlight as Earth.

Kepler-442b is about one-third larger than Earth with a 60% chance of being rocky. Scientists give it a 97% chance of being in the habitable zone, but caution that the estimates aren’t certain.

If you’re planning on packing up and changing addresses to Kepler-442b or Kepler-438b anytime soon, you can probably put away the moving boxes for now. RJ ESPAÑOL VIEW E-EDITION.
