  2. Johannes Kepler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Kepler

    Apelt, who saw Kepler's mathematics, aesthetic sensibility, physical ideas, and theology as part of a unified system of thought, produced the first extended analysis of Kepler's life and work. [119] Alexandre Koyré's work on Kepler was, after Apelt, the first major milestone in historical interpretations of Kepler's cosmology and its influence.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-452b

    Kepler-452b (sometimes quoted to be an Earth 2.0 or Earth's Cousin [4] [5] based on its characteristics; also known by its Kepler object of interest designation KOI-7016.01) is a candidate [6] [7] super-Earth exoplanet orbiting within the inner edge of the habitable zone of the sun-like star Kepler-452 and is the only planet in the system discovered by the Kepler space telescope.

  4. Kepler-452 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-452

    The name Kepler-452 derives directly from the fact that the star is the catalogued 452nd star discovered by Kepler to have confirmed planets. The designation b , derives from the order of discovery. The designation of b is given to the first planet orbiting a given star, followed by the other lowercase letters of the alphabet. [ 10 ]

    It was discovered by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope in December 2011 and was the first known transiting planet to orbit within the habitable zone of a Sun-like star, where liquid water could exist on the planet's surface. [4] Kepler-22 is too dim to be seen with the naked eye. Kepler-22b's radius is roughly twice that of Earth. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-442b

    Kepler-442b [1] [4] [5] (also known by its Kepler object of interest designation KOI-4742.01) is a confirmed near-Earth-sized exoplanet, likely rocky, orbiting within the habitable zone of the K-type main-sequence star [6] Kepler-442, about 1,196 light-years (367 pc) from Earth in the constellation of Lyra.

    For instance, if a Kepler-like mission conducted by aliens observed Earth transiting the Sun, there is a 7% chance that it would also see Venus transiting. [82] Kepler's 115 deg 2 field of view gives it a much higher probability of detecting Earth-sized planets than the Hubble Space Telescope, which has a field of view of only 10 sq. arc ...

  8. Kepler-10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-10

    Kepler-10, formerly known as KOI-72, is a Sun-like star in the constellation of Draco that lies 607 light-years (186 parsecs) from Earth. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Kepler-10 was targeted by NASA 's Kepler space telescope , as it was seen as the first star identified by the Kepler mission that could be a possible host to a small, transiting exoplanet. [ 7 ]

  9. Kepler-90 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-90

    The Kepler-90 system is one of only two eight-planet candidate systems from Kepler, together with Kepler-385, and the second to be discovered after the Solar System. It was also the only seven-planet candidate system from Kepler before the eighth was discovered in 2017. All of the eight known planet candidates orbit within about 1 AU of Kepler-90.
