Several other planets, such as Gliese 180 b, also appear to be examples of planets once considered potentially habitable but later found to be interior to the habitable zone. [ 1 ] Similarly, Tau Ceti e and f were initially both considered potentially habitable, [ 67 ] but with improved models of the circumstellar habitable zone, as of 2022 PHL ...
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.
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.
The most distant potentially habitable planet confirmed is Kepler-1606b, at 2870 light-years distant, [2] although the unconfirmed planet KOI-5889.01 is over 5000 light-years distant. On 31 March 2022, K2-2016-BLG-0005Lb was reported to be the most distant exoplanet discovered by the Kepler telescope, at 17 000 light-years away. [3]
Two teams of scientists have discovered a theoretically habitable planet called Gliese 12b that’s smaller than Earth but bigger than Venus, just 40 light-years away.
In March 2013, a revised estimate gave an occurrence rate of 50% for Earth-size planets in the habitable zone of red dwarfs. [208] At 1.63 times Earth's radius Kepler-452b is the first discovered near-Earth-size planet in the "habitable zone" around a G2-type Sun-like star (July 2015). [209]
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 ...
Astronomers found a habitable ... The universe has no shortage of strange exoplanets. ... argue that the planet is actually a rocky super-Earth 5.6 times the mass of our home planet. However, LHS ...
