Observations of Kepler system 9
United States space agency (NASA) announced the new findings generated Kepler satellite, Thursday, August 26, 2010. Kepler found a group of alien planets, planets that were never before seen it around a star - like planets in the solar system circling the sun. The findings were called Kepler system 9.
Observations of Kepler observatory confirm two Saturn-sized planets orbiting a star - in a distance of about 2300 light years from Earth. They also reveal the candidate planet that may be the same size as Earth in the same system. Why are the candidates? Its existence has not been confirmed. Until now, astronomers have not confirmed whether there is a potential planet like the Earth - in the sense that you could sustain life. However, initial analysis says, the planet has 1.5 times Earth’s radius. Continued observations of planetary systems will help answer the question is there life beyond Earth.
“We hope that within a few days or weeks, we can verify it,” said William Borucki, principal investigator at Keppler. NASA’s Ames Research Center, such as pages loaded Space, August 26, 2010. For the first time, the analysis of Kepler’s observations is also combined with the time of transit and radial velocity observations to estimate the mass of alien planets. Two of the largest planet in this system, called Kepler 9b and 9c Kepler - were found to have almost the same diameter. Both have a mass and density as Saturn.
However, the two planets are too close to the star - much like the sun, like Mercury, which orbits the Sun. Two planets allegedly have no life because it is very hot. Kepler planet is a planet into two groups announced this week. Previously, an astronomer at the European Space Agency (ESO) announced the discovery of ’solar system’ consisting of seven planets, a distance of 127 light years from Earth.
