Kepler-452b (sometimes quoted to be an Earth 2.0 or Earth's Cousin [4] [5] based on its characteristics; also known by its Kepler object of interest designation KOI-7016.01) is a candidate [6] [7] super-Earth exoplanet orbiting within the inner edge of the habitable zone of the sun-like star Kepler-452 and is the only planet in the system discovered by the Kepler space telescope.
The planet is about the size of Venus, so slightly smaller than Earth, and may be temperate enough to support life, the researchers said. Dubbed Gliese 12 b, the planet takes 12.8 days to orbit a ...
Planet is the size of Venus and is likely to have a relatively cool atmosphere. ... Scientists have found a new Earth-like planet that could support alien life – just 40 light-years away.
The planet was found using data from the NASA Kepler Space Telescope, K2, and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.K2-415b was discovered in February 2023. [2]K2-415b is approximately 1.015 times the radius of Earth and is less than 7.5 times the mass of Earth.
Host star is the brightest star with multiple known transiting Earth-size exoplanets. Another transiting planet in the system is suspected. [40] HD 101581 c: 0.0925 6.21 transit 41.7 0.740 ± 0.087 4675 ± 53 Host star is the brightest star with multiple known transiting Earth-size exoplanets. Another transiting planet in the system is ...
Astronomers have discovered a “super-Earth,” or a world larger than our planet, orbiting a star about 137 light-years away. A second planet, thought to be the size of Earth, may also be ...
The exoplanets were found using a statistical technique called "verification by multiplicity". 95% of the discovered exoplanets were smaller than Neptune and four, including Kepler-296f, were less than 2 1/2 the size of Earth and were in habitable zones where surface temperatures are suitable for liquid water.
