NASA has confirms the discovery of another earth.

Today, NASA announced that scientists
have found an Earth-like planet,
Kepler-452b about 1,400 light years
away from us.
This new Earth-twin exists at such a
distance from a star Kepler 452, where
water could exist.
This discovery (and more) is a result of
see about analysis of four years’ data from the
Kepler Space Telescope which has been
looking for Earth-like planets orbiting other
stars similar to our Sun. This Earth-like planet, or what people are
calling Earth 2.0, orbits its star in a habitable
zone i.e. a region where water could exist in
liquid state.
During its four year work, Kepler Space
Telescope found about 500 exoplanets, out
of which 12 are of size comparable to the
Earth. This Earth-like planet receives about 10
percent more light than Earth currently does
and in another 1.5 billion years, Earth will
receive the same amount of sunlight. This
means, Kepler-452b is Earth’s older cousin.
Kepler-452b is the first one to be confirmed
as a planets and its star possesses an
interesting similarity to our Sun.
It is just 12 percent brighter than our Sun
and four percent heavier. This Earth-like
planet Kepler-452b orbits at about same
distance as Earth, taking about 385 days to
complete one full revolution.
Let’s take a quick look at what we know
about the Earth 2.0 so far: It is about 60% larger than Earth 1.0 and the
closest exoplanet so far.
It is at a distance of 1,400 light years from
Earth.
It is rocky, thus confirming a sold surface.
It orbits its very own star named Kepler 452
at a distance near-about same as Earth’s
orbital distance. It completes one revolution is every 385
days.
Earth 2.0’s star is about 6 billion years old
i.e. about 1.5 billion years older than our
Sun.
During the long-awaited announcement,
NASA said that it right now they don’t know
if there’s life on Kepler-452b. The Kepler
data analysis head said: “It’s simply awe-inspiring to consider that
this planet has spent 6 billion years in the
habitable zone of its star, which is long than
the age of the Earth.
That’s considerable time and opportunity for
life to arise somewhere on the surface …
should all the necessary ingredients and
conditions for life on this planet [exist].”
