Discovered five planets like Earth

NASA telescope Keppler discovered five planets like Earth. Bigger planets and more heat from the earth could be inhabited by aliens that if there is one. List of planets outside the Milky Way are more thanks to the first observation of the space telescope NASA Keppler. The telescope is to find five new planets like Earth that orbit stars.

I want to announce the discovery of five planets outside our solar system by Keppler," said NASA's Director of Science William Borucki the American Astronomical Society meeting to-215 in California.

Keppler which orbits to search for new planets, find Earth-like planets that might be an alien place, but found a strange object orbiting the sun and measure it by using the vibrations radiating from the star's surface.

Five newly discovered planet is larger than the size of our earth, estimated the size of Neptune, and four other planets larger than Jupiter. Five planets are orbiting very close to their stars, with a rotation time of about four to five days and very hot. Temperature heat from the lava is more fluid, even the iron will melt the surface.

So they are a very hot planet and very bright," said Borucki. Sized planets like Neptune called Keppler 4b has a density like the planets in our solar system, composed of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. Other planets called Keppler 7b, has the smallest density among the planets found in the other.

Keppler, launched on March 6, 2009 was on duty for the light that comes straight from the stars and planets indicate that transit in front of the star.

Keppler has demonstrated the ability to measure the oscillations emanating from the surface of the star. By studying this star seismology, can help researchers find a better understanding of the age and structure of stars.
