IT’S been nearly 40 years since the first planet outside of our Solar System was discovered. Since then, more than 5,800 ...

Its sun, Kepler-452, is quite similar to our own, with the same temperature and a diameter 10 percent larger. According to Science, Kepler-452b is estimated to have five times the mass of Earth, with ...

The following year, continuing analysis turned up Kepler-452b, only 60% larger in diameter than Earth and likely rocky, was discovered orbiting in the habitable zone of a G-class (yellow ...

"Kepler-452b could be experiencing now what the Earth will undergo more than a billion years from now, as the Sun ages and grows brighter." WE CAN'T SEE A PICTURE OF IT It's far too far away for ...

Kepler-452b is located within its star’s habitable ... Its thin atmosphere fails to trap the Sun’s heat, leaving the planet cold, with temperatures dropping as low as -243°F (-153°C).

NASA scientist Jon Jenkins, talking about Kepler-452b, the newly described extrasolar planet that has the highest probability of any so far discovered for harboring liquid water and perhaps life (July ...

The things we witness are turning into inner landscapes. Fragments of conversations become collective thoughts and somewhere in the distance, Kepler 452b is orbiting a sun that is warmer than ours.

Kepler-452b is the first near-Earth-size planet that orbits around a star the size of the sun, according to Nasa. It is roughly 60% larger than Earth, which gives it a higher chance of being rocky.
