SPACE Three planets larger than the Earth have been particularly marked by the space telescope …
Launched by NASA in 2009, Kepler has identified 100 new planets in just over a year. An unexpected result after the failure that the telescope had met in May 2013, estimated the US space agency.
Redesigned, the giant eye, which measures almost a meter in diameter and is equipped with a sensor of 95 million pixels, observed objects he had not detected before.
It has, for example, discovered several exoplanets in the same solar system as well as stars orbiting objects hotter and brighter than our sun, reports Le Figaro . Three larger planets than Earth have also been spotted in the open cluster of the Hyades and having lost a planet’s orbit.
The telescope in heliocentric orbit, did not finish to meet NASA since some 230 others and objects discovered are yet to be identified by scientists
