Scientists using NASA's powerful Kepler telescope have found a planet beyond the solar system that is similar to Earth. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
The most earth like planet ever with an expectancy of Alien life has been discovered. Scientists announced that the planet is in a zone providing atmosphere just enough for life.
Project Blue’s half-meter-wide telescope is expected to be sent into orbit in roughly three years. It’s high-contrast imaging is designed to take pictures of our closest neighboring star system, Alpha Centauri. Alpha Centauri is 4.37 light years away from our solar system.
Researchers from European Southern Observatory announced their discoveries about a planet close to our solar system which may be similar to Earth in its conditions, with scientists holding a press conference at ESO headquarters in Garching near Munich, Wednesday. Reportedly, the star is the closest body in the space to Earth that might contain life forms. Dr. Ansgar Reiners stated that "the [turning] period is 11.2 days and the minimum mass of the planet is 1.3 Earth masses."
Staff at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, California waited with bated breath as their latest project entered the make or break phase. The agency's latest spaceraft, called Juno after the wife of Jupiter, the Roman king of the gods, blasted off from Cape Canaveral in 2011 and traveled over 400 million miles through our solar system to reach its final destination, the largest planet in our solar neighborhood, Jupiter.
