Two new Earth-sized exoplanets discovered

Hunting for habitable worlds, NASA¡¯s Kepler space telescope has unveiled two new planets, some 950 light-years away, that are the smallest yet detected, and the closest in size to Earth. In a paper published this week in Nature, scientists from MIT and elsewhere report that the planets ¡ª one just about Earth¡¯s size, and the other a bit smaller ¡ª likely have rocky compositions, similar to Earth, and orbit a star much like the sun. But that¡¯s where the similarities end. Compared with Earth¡¯s leisurely 365-day orbit, the new planets practically whiz around their star in a matter of days or weeks. Their tight circuits, closer even than Mercury¡¯s orbit around our sun, make the planets extremely hot ¡ª likely too hot to sustain life. While either planet is far from Earth¡¯s twin, scientists say the discovery is a technological milestone. ¡°For the Kepler space telescope, it¡¯s extremely significant, because it proves we can reach down to Earth¡¯s size,¡± says co-author Sara Seager, the Ellen Swallow Richards Professor of Planetary Science and Professor of Physics at MIT. ¡°It¡¯s a massive accomplishment just to find anything at all like this.¡± The new planets, which orbit the star Kepler 20, are part of a five-planet system, and have been named Kepler 20e and Kepler 20f. ¡°This will hopefully open the floodgates to discovering more of these Earth-sized and sub-Earth-sized planets,¡± says co-author Leslie Rogers, a physics graduate student at MIT. ¡°Then we¡¯ll be able to determine some sort of context for how common are habitable Earth-sized planets.¡± |
