The crew of The Ark (streaming now on Peacock) abandoned a dying Earth in pursuit of humanity’s new home on Proxima centauri b. That world does have one thing going for it, it’s nearby, orbiting the ...

Scientists have used data from NASA’s Kepler space telescope to discover a “vampire” star “sucking” the life out of another star. Experts discovered a surprising “super-outburst” from a dwarf nova, a ...

NASA’s Kepler spacecraft has discovered a “cousin” of Earth 1,400 light-years away. The exoplanet Kepler 452b orbits a sunlike star at about the same distance as Earth orbits the sun, scientists ...

Scientists analyzing four years of data from NASA’s Kepler mission have released a new catalog of exoplanet candidates. The catalog adds more than 500 new possible planets to the 4,175 already found ...

We show that the claimed confirmed planet Kepler-452b (a.k.a. K07016.01, KIC 8311864) can not be confirmed using a purely statistical validation approach. Kepler detects many more periodic signals ...

This journey imagines a visit to Kepler-452b, a planet often called Earth’s twin for its similarities in size and orbit. The exploration highlights what life might look like on this distant world.

It’s great that NASA is finding Earth-like planets such as Kepler-452b, but scientists suspect many more exist in our galaxy alone. “[Previous estimates] suggest that 15-25% of stars host potentially ...

Nasa has discovered 1,284 exoplanets, 550 of which could be rocky planets similar to Earth. Using data from the Kepler Space Telescope, a team of astronomers analysed 7,056 detected objects, 4,302 of ...

NASA has discovered the answer to all of our problems. It is another planet, a possible twin to Earth that could theoretically sustain life. This revelation could be bigger than Columbus “discovering” ...
