Earth-like planet discovered in 'habitable' zone






Astronomers on Friday revealed the development of an Earth-like community outside the sun program whose measurements and distance from its own celebrity put it in the "habitable" location and make for a exterior temperatures perhaps calculating a warm 72 levels.

The community, Kepler 22b, about 2.4 moments broader than Soil, groups a celebrity about 600 many a long time away, close by large expectations. The Kepler room telescope group declared the discover at a briefing at NASA's Ames Analysis Center in Moffett Field, Calif.
"It is right hit in the heart of the human friendly location," Kepler researchers Natalie Batalha says. Released last year, the $591 million Kepler room telescope has recognized more than 2,000 possible global discovered among about 150,000 actors within 3,000 many a long time of Soil along the "Orion spur" of our Milky Way whole world. Kepler 22b's development limits a half-decade of astronomers searching for a "Goldilocks" community — not too hot or not too cold to have sea on its exterior, like Soil. Fluid water is considered key for development of lifestyle.
