Kepler 22b – a New Planet in Habitable Zone
Published by NASA recently discovered this new planet which is very much similar to Earth.
That’s right! Just a few days ago, NOAO (National Optical Astronomy Observatory) discovered the planet Kepler 21b and now this discovery of Kepler 22b which is pretty much located in the habitable zone is turning to be NASA’s one of the biggest successes.
Kepler 22b – Characterstics
Color – Blue Tran-quit
Radius – 2.4 times the earth’s
Temperature – 72 degrees Fahrenheit
Distance From it’s sun – 79 million miles
Completes the Orbit – 290 days
Distance from Earth – 600 light years (22 million years to reach)
As you can see the conditions are very much favorable for the planet to be habitable and in fact there’s even a possibility of planet being already inhabited. However, even after it’s color being blue scientists are not sure that whether it’s liquid, solid or gas.
Comparison with Kepler 21b (which is not believed to be Habitable)
Kepler 22b is allot similar to earth. Kepler 21b was discovered last week and the major difference between these two is the temperature depending on their locations. Kepler 22b as stated, is located 79 million miles away from it’s sun having quite a favorable temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit whereas Kepler 21b is located just around 3 miles away from the sun believed to be having around 2960 degrees Fahrenheit of temperature.
They are hoping to find more habitable planets within an year. Lets hope for the best.

Don’t you mean to say that Kepler 22b is 79 million miles from its sun, instead of stating that it is 79 miles from its sun?

with sadness I might say that 600 light years is too far for anyone of us to be able to see any life forms over there. It is nice to know that there are planets like earth, but the more we know, the less welcome this becomes, since human at this time do not have any technology that can ferry us to any life that may exist. This is sad.
