Find the 'Second Earth' that contains life?
Space scientists will hold a press conference this month to announce a "new cosmic discovery" of the planet containing life. This can be considered "Second Earth".
Did NASA find the "Second Earth" in the universe?
According to the latest news on the Mirror, space authorities will announce " a new cosmic discovery" made by the Kepler space telescope. This is the device responsible for finding planets that have life outside of Earth.
The Kepler spacecraft has been in use since 2009 with the goal of exploring extraterrestrial planets in space. More specifically, its mission is to discover planets that have properties similar to Earth and have enough safe distances from their parent stars to sustain life.
Exploring the universe has always been the lofty mission of astronomers.
Since its inception, the Kepler spacecraft has discovered 1,028 planets and 22 of them are believed to have conditions suitable for life. NASA is specifically looking for a planet in the "habitable zone " whose surface temperature may exist in liquid water.
The space agency announced it would hold a press conference to announce: "A new discovery of the planet hunting mission, Kepler Space Telescope". This event will take place at 4pm on July 23, 2015 and may be related to the discovery of a second Earth capable of supporting life.
The Kepler spacecraft contributes a lot to the cosmic examination.
"Extraterrestrial planets, especially small objects like Earth, 21 years ago, are thought to only exist in science fiction. Today, and thousands of further discoveries. According to astronomers trying to find something that people have dreamed of for thousands of years - another Earth, " a NASA spokesman said.
