An Amazing Trip To Kepler 452b, Earth`s Twin

Kepler-452b was the first planet of a similar size to Earth found in the habitable zone of its star, the star that this planet orbit is very similar to the sun, so it is highly likely that this planet contains water and even living things. Will this planet be the future home of the human race? Let’s find out!

In 2015 NASA's Kepler mission confirmed the existence of the first Earth-sized planet in the "habitable zone" around a Sun-like star. This was designated Kepler-452b.
In the year of the twentieth anniversary of the discovery that showed that other suns harbor planets, the Kepler exoplanet explorer space telescope discovered a planet and a star that closely resemble Earth and our Sun. This exciting result brings us closer to finding an Earth 2.0 where the human race can live.

The crazy thing to me is that everything we can observe happening on Kepler 452b actually happened 1, 402 years ago. An entire civilisation could have easily died by the time the light from it reaches our telescopes.

[davalvideo]

What difference does it make if Kepler 452B is a larger version of Earth and could sustain human life? It is simply too far away. We would never be able to get there.

[thomascopley]

It's interesting but it being 60% larger, walking might be difficult

[valerielhw]

Pointing out a seemingly earth-like exoplanet and suggesting that it might be a future home for humans is quite a leap!

[superood]

I always wonder if there is a civilization like us out on any exoplanets looking at us thinking “there could be life on that blue planet”. And if that is so, I wonder what they named out planet.

[askarielad]

It’s far from being Earth’s twin,
To find Earth׳s twin we should look around G2V type stars.

Imagine if Kepler 452b's aliens say:
An Amazing Trip To Earth, 452's Twin.

[parlucian]

Maybe in about 1000 years we will have what we need to go there! Good luck humans of the future!

[sgn]

Interesting to have found a rare system like ours. The James Webb telescope could shed more light on it's habitability.

[debbieanne]

1400 light years away? Would take millions of years to get there to see if it's habitable and millions of years to return. Even at the speed of light it's still 1400 years which just isn't feasible. We will never know if there's even been, or is life on Kepler 452B

This planet can be considered an Earth's twin only in terms of orbital period (and as a result, an analog in terms of the distance to the star), where the difference with the Earth's orbital period is almost negligible. Given the temperature and radius of the star measured by Gaia telescope (DR2 release), the star is 1.13856 x Sun's radius and has a temperature of 5472.5 K. Then, by simulating the REAL HZ boundaries, which for trully living things is Water Loss (inner boundary) to First CO2 condensation (outer boundary), we get a HZ true range from 0.9836 AU to 1.42 AU. So, at 1.046 AU the planet is clearly inside the true HZ. Definitely promissing, as the planet receives 95.74% (1303.153 W/s/m^2) the light Earth receives from the Sun, and having a not so big radius it can be worth the look by Webb telescope (if such an observation is in their plans, which I hope so) IF its atmosphere is composed of elements like the Earth's.

If they say Venus is also Earths twin, I’m not putting much stock in this title or the idea of Kepler-452-B’s habitability 😂

[ESL-O.G.]

It's not Earth's twin, but interesting nonetheless

[DannyCosmos]

Imagine they are watching us too and wondering if life exist here….

[lordshaxx]

I like the nex sound fx you added but sometimes to volume is so high it's not very headphone friendly or masks the sound of the commentator. Other than that great content as usual! Thank you for making these great videos!

[nicosmind]

Just from that thumbnail I knew it wasn't going to be a twin

[armaholic]

I thinkk it'd be easier to create living conditions in planets from our solar system than to travel for 30 million years with our current fastest spaceship to reach that planet.... But not gonna lie that would probably be the most thrilling thing ever to reach that place

[Jansen]

The evolution of planets and solar systems make space travel really tricky.

We had freakin dinosaurs on our planet at one point. Which, I think is amazing.

[douglasmcneil]

Is it possible yet, to detect/measure an exo-planet's magnetic field, either directly or indirectly? If not, what would be required to do that. It seems to me that would help us learn a great deal more about an exo-plant's interior and the possibility tectonic activity.
