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 ...

It's been about twenty years since the discovery of the first definitive proof that there are planets outside our solar system, and today NASA has revealed that it has found the first near-Earth-sized ...

The Kepler probe's focus is on finding another habitable planet. — -- NASA says we're on our way to discovering Earth 2.0. The Kepler Space Telescope has located a planet and star closely ...

NASA's Kepler spacecraft has spotted something pretty nifty: "Earth's bigger, older cousin." The Earth-size planet, Kepler-452b, was found circling a sun-like star in an orbit that takes 385 days. The ...

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 ...

Kepler 452b (right) is about 60 per cent larger in diameter than Earth (Artist’s impression: NASA/JPL-Caltech/T. Pyle) Meet Kepler 452b, Earth’s new alien cousin. This rocky planet is the first alien ...

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 ...

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” ...

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 ...

Kepler-452b is 1400 light years away, so no, no one will make it there in less than 1400 years (if moving at the speed of light). You're effectively asking if we'll be able to travel 1,400 light years ...
