Visiting Earth’s Twin Kepler 452b, Its Similarities Are Striking!

Earth's twin Kepler 452b. NASA's Kepler spacecraft has been on a wild journey since its launch in 2009, discovering over 1,000 exoplanets, with thousands more waiting in the wings. These planets range from denser than iron to lighter than styrofoam and they come in all sizes, smaller than Mercury or larger than Jupiter. Some orbit one sun, some two, and a few even dance around four. But amidst this cosmic carnival, there's a quest for something special—an Earth twin, a planet that could be our cosmic mirror, a beacon that whispers we are not alone. Well, hold on to your seats because Kepler hit the jackpot when it found Earth's analog, Kepler 452b.

Earth analogues. So what exactly is an Earth analogue? Imagine a planet that's not just similar in size to ours but also orbits its star at just the right distance to potentially support liquid water, a key ingredient for life as we know it. Scientists are absolutely buzzing about finding one because it could mean we're not alone in this vast universe. It's the ultimate cosmic jackpot. But here's the kicker—spotting these Earth twins isn't like finding a needle in a haystack; it's like finding a specific needle in a stack of needles. These planets are tiny compared to their stars, making them incredibly hard to spot from light-years away. Plus, their orbits might not line up just right for us to catch them in our telescopes. It's a cosmic game of hide-and-seek that scientists are playing, and every discovery gets us closer to answering that age-old question: are we alone in the universe? The good news is that over the years NASA seems to have spotted some potential Earth analogues. Perhaps the most intriguing one is Kepler 452b.

Just 1, 800 ly away from Sol, and maybe a Venus twin. Awesome!

We might as well be alone. With today's latest technology ut would take thousands of years to reach our nearest star!

1 year 1 month and 5 days ago is my post on a App. We were at our best. THE SPECIAL NEURONS ARE THERE. WE ARE ADVANCED HUMMANS BECAUSE OF THAT QUORA POST 1 YR. 1 MO. AND 5 DAYS AGO. Time Travel requirements is when you think because I'm on Space Topic. Other Space Video contained my Newborn Self info. Because we were here. Mr. Offical Jones, Jerrett Russell again.

New telescope 🔭 more like $40 billion dollars 💵 20 to 30 yrs before launch 🚀🧐🙃🧐👨🏿‍⚕️

Does it have a moon? No moon no earth.

[shaunosmorrison]

I reckon Kepler 452b would be more akin to a Venusian-like world like Kepler-69c due to the age of the star

Fascinating speculation, but I suppose it will be a long time before we learn more about these far away planets. 👍👍
