NASA Discovers Existence Of More Exoplanets

NASA’s telescope, set on a planet finding mission in our milky way and beyond, has been successful ‎at finding whole new worlds of endless possibilities in the search for alien life. A recent ‎report from a cosmic census reveals that relatively small sized planets and stable multi-planet ‎systems are far more common and abundant than previously believed.‎

New data released from NASA’s Kepler telescope show 1,000 and more possible new ‎planets outside our solar system – more than double the earlier count of exoplanets. They ‎are yet to be confirmed as planets, but it is estimated that 90 percent of what Kepler has ‎found would eventually be verified.‎

Kepler, put into orbit in 2009, has been circling the Sun between Earth and Mars, ‎continuously conducting planet census and searching for similar earth-like planets ever ‎since. It has found many planets that are smaller than Jupiter – the biggest planet in our ‎solar system – compared to the availability of giant planets. Some of these appear to be of ‎the same size as the Earth. These planets offer better opportunities for sustaining life ‎forms than the larger planets that are spotted easily.‎
