  • NASA - Ten new earth size planets found

    Source: http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/19/us/exoplanets-nasa-kepler-announcement/index.html



    NASA's Kepler mission finds 10 Earth-size exoplanets, 209 others

    (CNN)The NASA Kepler mission has discovered 219 more exoplanets, including 10 Earth-size planets, program scientist Mario Perez said Monday at NASA's Ames Research Center in California.

    Ten of the planets are potentially rocky, close to the size of Earth and within the habitable zone of the stars they orbit -- meaning they could support liquid water on their surface, Perez explained.
    "The Kepler data set is unique, as it is the only one containing a population of these near-Earth analogs: planets with roughly the same size and orbit as Earth," he said.
    With the addition of this latest release, Kepler has now identified 4,034 planet candidates, and 2,335 of them have been confirmed as exoplanets. The mission has also found 50 candidates similar in size to Earth, with more than 30 of them confirmed.

      Good stuff.

        but I had to fix the title ("Ten" from "Ren") before a certain pedantic prodder of bovines noticed it.

        I'm always still in trouble again

          Thanks for the fix - I couldn't read about Ren and exoplanets without thinking of the Dear S (alien) named Ren.

              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                When I think of someone called Ren I think of the main character from Pirates of Dark Water:

                      If they were finding Ren-sized planets, i would be impressed.
