The top 5 most Earth-like planets have been discovered

Modern technology has brought us to many new horizons of scientific knowledge, and one of them is to know that our Earth also has "brothers" in this universe.

Kepler-452b

Kepler-452b planet was announced by NASA on July 23, 2015 and identified by the Kepler space telescope. Kepler-452b is a planet outside the solar system , which is the first time humans have discovered a planet near the earth that is about to rotate in the habitat of a star similar to the Sun.

This planet is 1,400 light-years from the solar system. At a speed of 59,000 km / h of New Horizons, the fastest spacecraft ever built by humans, it will take about 25.8 million years to reach Kepler-452b.

It is 1.6 times larger than the Earth, most likely a rocky planet, with a surface rich in iron and other metals. Kepler-452b is always called "Earth version 2.0".

HD 219134b

HD 219134b is a planet within the star named HD 219134 . According to scientists, the star HD 219134 (also known as HR 8832 ) is a fifth-largest dwarf star in the constellation Angelia (Cassiopeia) and only 21 light-years away from our Earth. . HD 219134b is 1.6 times larger than Earth and 4.5 times heavier

Planet HD 219134b.

Michael Werner, a Spitzer mission scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, declared: "This planet will be one of the most studied subjects in decades to come."

The fact that this planet is so close to us will bring even more attention than Kepler-452b and make it to the potential exploration list.

GJ1132b

At the end of 2015, astronomers announced: They have found a new planet that is only 39 light years away and quite similar in size to Earth. Astronomer David Charbonneau of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in the United States is credited with finding GJ1132b.

GJ1132b is 1.2 times the size of the Earth, is a type of rock planet with the main components of stone and iron. It is the closest object to Earth among the rocky planets people have ever discovered. It is believed that the viability of life on GJ1132b is very high.

Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f twins

Recently, expert Eric Agol of the University of Washington (USA) has announced the discovery of a pair of planets with many similarities with the Earth through the Kepler telescope. Those are the two smallest planets ever discovered in the area that can allow life to flourish.

The range of green strips is said to be an area that may exist beyond Earth.

These two planets belong to rocky planets, which are eligible to surface water. This close pair of "twins" is turning around a sun-like star in the celestial constellation Scorpius, about 1.4 times larger than Earth.

The heat and radiation of these two planets are now half that of the Earth and the rotation is 267.3 days.
