Astronomers found 18 Earth-sized exoplanets, a huge feat in itself, but one of them looks remarkably similar to our own planet
"EPIC” stands for “Ecliptic Planet Input Catalog”, which was a list of targets that the Kepler Space Telescope's K2 mission was supposed to observe. However, EPIC 201497682 is also known in other star catalogs as UCAC4 453-051784, 2MASS J11154478+0029171, and Gaia DR2 3810098271767907840."When we look at the star now we see the light that emerged from this system about 300 years before Christopher Columbus reached The Americas," said Dr.
This illustration depicts NASA's exoplanet hunter, the Kepler space telescope. The agency announced on Oct. 30, 2018, that Kepler has run out of fuel and is being retired within its current and safe orbit, away from Earth. Kepler leaves a legacy of more than 2,600 exoplanet discoveries.The researchers used data from NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope as a test bed for their new algorithm.
Most of them are probably too hot. Most of the new planets detected in the old data orbit their star closer than other known planets. The surfaces of these new planets therefore likely have temperatures well in excess of 100ºC/212ºF, while some have temperatures of up to 1,000ºC/1,832ºF. Only one, a planet called
