Kepler inizia a stanare gli esopianeti
Gli scienziati continuano ad esaminare i dati raccolti dal telescopio in orbita. Dopo le critiche della prima ora, importanti informazioni sugli esopianeti in giro per la galassia iniziano a filtrare

Keplero scopre un altro sistema solare
Il telescopio orbitante scopre un sistema con due pianeti simili a Saturno. Forse c'è un terzo pianeta grande una volta e mezzo la Terra.

NASA's Kepler Mission Discovers Two Planets Transiting the Same Star

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. -- NASA's Kepler spacecraft has discovered the first confirmed planetary system with more than one planet crossing in front of, or transiting, the same star.

The transit signatures of two distinct planets were seen in the data for the sun-like star designated Kepler-9. The planets were named Kepler-9b and 9c. The discovery incorporates seven months of observations of more than 156,000 stars as part of an ongoing search for Earth-sized planets outside our solar system. The findings will be published in Thursday's issue of the journal Science.
