Another #Earth.
On July 23, 2015, the #KeplerSpaceTelescope has confirmed the first near-Earth-size planet in the “habitable zone” around a #Sun-like #Star, called #Kepler452b. This discovery and the introduction of 11 other small habitable zone candidate planets marked a milestone of searching for habitable #Exoplanets.

Photo: This artist’s concept compares #Earth (left) to the new planet, called #Kepler452b.
#NASA considers this #Exoplanet and its #Star to be the closest analog to Earth and #Sun so far. Though it’s 60% larger than Earth in diameter, Kepler-452b is thought to be rocky and within the habitable zone of a G-type star similar to ours.
