Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
NASA discovers 715
new planets
Isn’t that
incredible to find planets, not self-shining stars, thousands of light years
away? How could scientists of astronomy find or figure them out?
They seem to have
gotten a new gadget to explore the universe called Kepler space telescope. It
was launched in 2009 to find planets similar to Earth that are in, or near,
habitable zones. Habitable zones means the right distance from a parent star that
could provide a moderate temperature to sustain water in liquid form, not solid
or gas.
But how could they
discover such small dark planets in the distance-away space? And how could they
figure out whether those planets are habitable like earth?
Enjoy reading and
learning about the new discovery of planets in our galaxy.
