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 Kepler space telescope is a defunct space telescope launched by NASA in 2009 [5] to discover Earth-sized planets orbiting other stars. [6] [7] Named after astronomer Johannes Kepler, [8] the spacecraft was launched into an Earth-trailing heliocentric orbit.
Kepler-1649c is an Earth-sized exoplanet, likely rocky, orbiting within the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Kepler-1649, the outermost planet of the planetary system discovered by Kepler’s space telescope. It is located about 301 light-years (92 pc) away from Earth, in the constellation of Cygnus. [3]
Kepler-442b [1] [4] [5] (also known by its Kepler object of interest designation KOI-4742.01) is a confirmed near-Earth-sized exoplanet, likely rocky, orbiting within the habitable zone of the K-type main-sequence star [6] Kepler-442, about 1,196 light-years (367 pc) from Earth in the constellation of Lyra.
Kepler-442 is a K-type main-sequence star approximately 1,196 light years from Earth in the constellation Lyra. It is located within the field of vision of the Kepler spacecraft , the satellite that NASA 's Kepler Mission used to detect planets that may be transiting their stars.
An artist's rendition of Kepler-62f, a potentially habitable exoplanet discovered using data transmitted by the Kepler space telescope. The list of exoplanets detected by the Kepler space telescope contains bodies with a wide variety of properties, with significant ranges in orbital distances, masses, radii, composition, habitability, and host star type.
Kepler-62 is a K-type main sequence star cooler and smaller than the Sun, located roughly 980 light-years (300 parsecs) from Earth in the constellation Lyra.It resides within the field of vision of the Kepler spacecraft, the satellite that NASA's Kepler Mission used to detect planets that may be transiting their stars.
Kepler-444 (or KOI-3158, KIC 6278762, 2MASS J19190052+4138043, BD+41°3306) [10] is a triple star system, estimated to be 11.2 billion years old (more than 80% of the age of the universe), [12] approximately 119 light-years (36 pc) away from Earth in the constellation Lyra.
