Twinkle, twinkle little Star
tell me where your planets are
are they in that special zone
tell me that we're not alone
tell me I can make a fuss
say there's people just like us
way out in your worlds so far
twinkle, twinkle little star.
Sun and Planets
NASA's Kepler mission has confirmed its first planet in the "habitable zone," the region where liquid water could exist on a planet's surface. Kepler also has discovered more than 1,000 new planet candidates, nearly doubling its previously known count. Ten of these candidates are near-Earth-size and orbit in the habitable zone of their host star.
The Kepler space telescope
Wonders await us in our search for new planetary systems. The rate of discovery is so fast that in just a few years we may be able to make astonishing discoveries about life on other worlds. If this comes to pass, what we find will be so close in astronomical terms that we will at last enjoy confirmation of what we have suspected for so long - that life is abundant in the Universe, it is everywhere, and a percentage of those life forms are intelligent.
Xoplanets deep into the void.
