In our galaxy there could be up to 500 million planets suitable for life, reveals data provided by the Kepler space telescope. The number of extrasolar planets may reach 50 billion, informs site Rambler.ru, cited by Agerpres. Data on potential habitable planets were announced at the annual conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), by William Borutski, who leads the team of researchers working with Kepler. Borutski said also that the planets Kepler already studied, 10.5% have sizes close to the Earth, 7.3% is slightly higher (up to 200% of our planet's mass, the so-called 'super -Earth ', other 20.8% are comparable with the planet Neptune and 5.2% related to Jupiter class, being six times larger than Earth. In total, the telescope found planets like Earth 1200, of which 54 are in the area of life. Kepler telescope was launched into orbit by NASA in March 2009. His main task is to search for exoplanets. In this mission, he focuses only on a certain part of the sky in the constellation Cygnus, which is about 150 thousand stars. realitatea.net |
