search Spacecraft Earth-like planet , Kepler , re- discovered exo - planets that have physical characteristics similar to Earth . The planets were named Kepler - 62F and very much resemblance to the Earth , one of which is covered by water .
The planet was found not far from the exo - planet Kepler - 62E . But the difference in this new planet very similar to Earth and the possibility of human life . The planet orbits the star at a distance that is very fitting to be inhabited by life . The distance as the distance of Earth to the Sun so that the temperature of the planet is at a normal temperature for the presence of water .
As reported Space , Sunday ( 01/05/2014 ) , the right combination between the distance of the planet to have water on its surface a number of Kepler - 62F makes an ideal place to develop life in it . Which will , might be human life after Earth no longer exist . But researchers say , if there is any life on the planet can be confirmed as a different life as what we see on Earth .
Because these exoplanets orbiting the stars that are smaller and dimmer than the Sun . Kepler - 62F is located at a distance of 1,200 light-years from planet Earth , and an estimated 1.4 times bigger than our planet . While neighbors , Kepler - 62E sized 1.6 times larger than Earth . " There may be life , but there is life as we already have the technology today? Life on this planet is also expected to be difficult to find materials such as metals , electricity , or fire for metallurgy , " says researcher Lisa Kaltenegger .
"However , I think the world will be as beautiful as the blue planet orbiting the orange star . Which may be life there with the technology that will probably surprise us , " Kaltenegger continue .
Based on data from the Kepler telescope , Kepler exoplanet orbiting its star - 62F for 267 days . Which when compared with the Earth orbits the Sun for 365 days differed only approximately 100 days . The position of the exoplanet host star could be analogous to the position of Venus with the Sun .
