MEXICO: NASA may have just found the closest thing to an Earth-like planet in the Universe.
The US space agency is holding a press conference tomorrow, 23 July, to reveal the latest discoveries of its exoplanet-hunting Kepler Space Telescope. The scope, launched in 2009, seeks out planets that reside in the habitable zone, known colloquially as the Goldilocks zone. Planets in this location orbit their star at a safe enough distance to potentially host liquid water on their surface. The majority of the planets identified by Kepler have been giant gas planets, akin to Jupiter in our own Solar System, with only eight being less than twice Earth’s size and in the Goldilocks zone. It’s suspected that the Nasa announcement could confirm the identification of the most Earth-like planet to date.
