Yesterday, we covered the new exoplanet profiles, which were discovered by the Kepler Space Observatory, but we wanted to delve a little bit deeper on the candidates in the Kepler-62 system, the two ...

PASADENA, Calif. — NASA’s Kepler mission has discovered two new planetary systems that include three super-Earth-size planets in the “habitable zone,” the range of distance from a star where the ...

A University of Washington astronomer has discovered perhaps the most Earth-like planet yet found outside the solar system by the Kepler Space Telescope. Eric Agol, a UW associate professor of ...

The search for Earthlike, habitable planets beyond the Sun has been something like a boulder rolling downhill ever since the Kepler space telescope went into orbit in 2009. Before that, ground-based ...

Artist's conception of Kepler-62f, which may, according to theory, have a solid surface and liquid water. NASA Ames / JPL-Caltech The Kepler team’s announcement of the smallest, most Earthlike planets ...

Astronomers have been trying to find habitable planets similar to planet Earth. Due to the climate change issue, some scientists are eager to discover an alternative planet to relocate some of the ...

NASA's Kepler space telescope has made a new round of discoveries: two planetary systems, both of which are home to a total of three planets within the habitable zone. As such, it is possible that ...

On April 18, scientists announce the discovery of three Earth-like planets potentially suited for life. Kepler-62e, Kepler-62f, and Kepler-69c are three unique examples among the total 122 confirmed ...

On Thursday, April 18, scientists announced the discovery of Kepler-62e, Kepler-62f, and Kepler-69c. To date, these planets are some of the most Earth-like planets astronomers have found, further ...

The other subject is Kepler-62, a "main sequence" star at a similar phase in its evolution as our sun. Using a 3D global climate computer model normally employed to study Earth's environment, the ...

A picture of Earth and artist's interpretations of several exoplanets that could be like our own. From left: artist's impressions of Kepler-22b, Kepler-69c, Kepler-452b, Kepler-62f and Kepler-186f. A ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...
