NASA Discover Another Earth By Kepler Space Telescope
Today, NASA is going to announce of another earth discovery. NASA is organizing Teleconference by today and will share about its Kepler space telescope latest discovery.
The first exoplanet orbiting another star like our sun was discovered in 1995. Exoplanets, especially small Earth-size worlds, belonged within the realm of science fiction just 21 years ago. Today, and thousands of discoveries later, astronomers are on the cusp of finding something people have dreamed about for thousands of years - another Earth.
Conference will happen on 23rd July 12pm EST or 9:30pm IST in coming hrs.
About the Mission:
Launched in March 2009, Kepler is the first NASA mission to detect Earth-size planets orbiting distant stars in or near the habitable zone -- the range of distances from a star in which the surface temperature of an orbiting planet might sustain liquid water. The telescope has since confirmed more than 1,000 planets and more than 3,000 planet candidates spanning a wide range of sizes and orbital distances, including those in the habitable zone.
