Kepler-452b: The Newly Discovered Earth’s Cousin

Is it really true? Earth has a cousin? And living things can reside there?

           Yes it’s definitely true!  On July 23, 2015, a new discovered planet has believed to be orbiting a sun identically to our own. Captured on the lens of Kepler Space telescope, Kepler-452b may be Earth's close cousin, but living on the new found world would still be an alien experience.

       Kepler-452 is a newly discovered rocky exoplanet which simply means that it’s located outside our galaxy—the Milky Way. It is also said that it’s 60 percent wider than Earth and probably about five times more massive, so its surface gravity is considerably stronger than the pull people are used to here in Earth. This means that it’s heavier out there in Kepler. And it’s also older than Earth and even to sun because it is said to be 6 million years old, and its also experiencing greenhouse effect that is currently creating more damage than ours, which means it’s hotter there. Oh my! 

      However, this amazing facts really going to mark our space exploration. Better if they don't cease to discover habitable planets like Kepler 452b. And it's really good to know that we're trying to understand more the things like this, about other planets, about the universe etc. 

     Maybe next month or year, they will be able to discover another planet like Kepler 452b. It's going to be exciting! Good job NASA!
