Space company Kepler Communications has raised an oversubscribed US$60M Series B to provide it with a capital injection for the continued scaling of its on-orbit satellite communications network. This ...
Earth is the only life-supporting planet in our Solar System. Until now. Today, we’re bringing Kepler 22-b into our planetary ...
NASA’s Kepler mission confirmed the discovery of its first rocky planet, named Kepler-10b. Measuring 1.4 times the size of Earth, it is the smallest planet ever discovered outside our solar system.
Nasa has discovered 1,284 exoplanets, 550 of which could be rocky planets similar to Earth. Using data from the Kepler Space Telescope, a team of astronomers analysed 7,056 detected objects, 4,302 of ...
The recent announcement of a Neptune-sized exomoon candidate around the transiting Jupiter-sized object Kepler-1625 b could indicate the presence of a hitherto unknown kind of gas giant moons, if ...
Orbital properties of the 70 cool giants. A comparison of the derived orbital eccentricities from this work (y-axis) versus the orbital periods (previously known) for our planetary candidates sample.
Comparison of the relative sizes of several Kepler circumbinary planets, from the smallest, Kepler-47 b, to the largest, Kepler-1647 b. Kepler-1647 b is substantially larger than any of the previously ...
