Using the now-retired Kepler space telescope, astronomers have discovered that larger planets grow up in more turbulent homes ...
The Kepler space telescope has helped us discover many potentially habitable exoplanets that may harbour life. How does it find them? How do we know these exoplanets are habitable? Could there really ...
The Kepler telescope was initially set to launch in 2006, but ended up being pushed back to 2009 as the spacecraft design and development proceeded and the Discovery program worked through issues ...
Since that time, NASA changed the craft's mission to adjust to the telescope's new normal, calling the updated mission K2. And even though the mission is at an end, that doesn't mean Kepler's ...
The researchers used data collected by NASA’s Kepler telescope, which monitored 150,000 stars and measured dips in their brightness caused by transiting planets to discover thousands of exoplanets.
The exoplanet, K2-2016-BLG-0005Lb, is almost identical to Jupiter in terms of its mass and its distance from its sun was discovered using data obtained in 2016 by NASA's Kepler space telescope. The ...
There have been several observing projects on the Allen Telescope Array. One was a reconnaissance of star systems found to have planets (or planet candidates) by NASA’s Kepler Mission, and especially ...
IT’S been nearly 40 years since the first planet outside of our Solar System was discovered. Since then, more than 5,800 weird and wonderful worlds across 4,300 planetary systems have been ...
Scientists, utilizing data from NASA's retired Kepler Space Telescope, have made a groundbreaking study to unravel the perplexing phenomenon of certain exoplanets diminishing in size. More than ...
