Pandorum was announced in May 2008 with Quaid and Foster in lead roles. Christian Alvart was attached to direct the film from a script by Travis Milloy. Filming took place at Babelsberg Studios in Potsdam, Germany in August 2008. [6] [7] The movie was financed by Constantin Film through a joint venture deal with subsidiary Impact Pictures. [6]
This is a List of exoplanets discovered in 2012. [1] For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the mass value is actually a lower limit. (See Minimum mass for more information)
In many cases it is not possible to have an exact value, and an estimated range is instead provided. The coldest and oldest planet directly imaged is Epsilon Indi Ab, which has six times Jupiter's mass, an effective temperature of 275 K, and an age of about 3.5 Ga. This list includes the four members of the multi-planet system that orbit HR 8799.
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.

Scientists have found a new Earth-like planet that could support alien life – just 40 light-years away. The planet is a remarkable discovery in the search for habitable worlds: it is slightly ...
An artist's rendition of Kepler-62f, a potentially habitable exoplanet discovered using data transmitted by the Kepler space telescope. The list of exoplanets detected by the Kepler space telescope contains bodies with a wide variety of properties, with significant ranges in orbital distances, masses, radii, composition, habitability, and host star type.
Nevertheless, there are also many fictional planets that differ significantly from Earth. [1] [2] [3] Earth-like planets have become less common in fiction following the first detection of an exoplanet around a Sun-like star in 1995, [a] reflecting the scarcity of such worlds among the thousands discovered since.
