Nasa's planet hunting Kepler Space Telescope set to make announcement
Daily MailAstronomers may be preparing to announce the discovery of a planet similar to Earth that has been found orbiting another star. Nasa is due to hold a news conference on Thursday to reveal the latest discoveries from its Kepler Space Telescope, which has been scouring the skies for planets outside our own solar system. Scroll down for video Astronomers with Nasa are preparing to announce the latest results from the Kepler Space Telescope and have hinted they may have discovered a planet similar to Earth orbiting another star within the habitable zone where liquid water may form. Orbiting around around the sun around 93 million miles from Earth, the Kepler Space Telescope has discovered 1,028 planets and 4,661 candidate planets during its mission. Many of those planets in the so-called habitable zone – the area around a star where liquid water might form on a planet's surface – most are at least 40% larger than Earth.
