NASA : A Spin Around An Exoplanet Most Like Earth .- Una vuelta alrededor de un exoplaneta más igual que la Tierra (the planet Kepler-452b)

Hola amigos: A VUELO DE UN QUINDE EL BLOG., hemos recibido información de la Agencia espacial NASA, sobre la investigación de un exo planeta, llamado : the planet Kepler-452b, ubicado en la Zona de Habitabilidad Galáctica en la Constelación del Cisne, que llevo a cabo el telescopio espacial Kepler;  según los últimos sondeos este exo planeta tiene similares condiciones a la Tierra, para que esta zona donde está el planeta tiene las probabilidadades de tener agua un ingrediente básico para sustentar la vida tal como sucede en La Tierra.

This artistic animation depicts one possible appearance of the planet Kepler-452b, the first near-Earth-size world to be found in the habitable zone of star that is similar to our sun. The habitable zone is a region around a star where temperatures are right for water -- an essential ingredient for life as we know it -- to pool on the surface. Scientists do not know if Kepler-452b can support life or not. What is known about the planet is that it is about 60 percent larger than Earth, placing it in a class of planets dubbed "super-Earths." While its mass and composition are not yet determined, previous research suggests that planets the size of Kepler-452b have a better than even chance of being rocky. Kepler-452b orbits its star every 385 days. The planet's star is about 1,400 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. It is a G2-type star like our sun, with nearly the same temperature and mass. This star is 6 billion years old, 1.5 billion years older than our sun. As stars age, they grow in size and give out more energy, warming up their planets over time. The planet's rotation is sped up.
