The exoplanet that Kepler detected is called HIP 116454b and is 2.5 times the diameter of the Earth. It has a nine-day orbit around its parent star, which is smaller and cooler than our Sun.

INAF The search for planets outside our solar system continues to heat up. NASA’s Kepler spacecraft has located more than 1,200 planetary candidates; however, confirming them remains a challenge.

Kepler-78b orbits perilously close to its host star—so close, in fact, that its year lasts only 8.5 hours, and surface temperatures are several thousand degrees on the side facing the star.

NASA's planet-hunting Kepler telescope, which astronomershope will find Earth-like planets orbiting other stars, might also findhabitable moons in other solar systems, new research suggests.

Kepler will detect the periodic dimming of stars caused by transiting planets. Some star systems are oriented in such a way that their planets cross in front of their stars, as seen from Earth's point ...
