The Kepler space mission
has exposed the exoplanet, closet to the Earthlike identified so far. Dub
Kepler 10b, the planet is unstable (solid) smaller than those found, since the
diameter is the same to just 1.4 times the Earth, while its mass is 4.6 times
that of Earth.
In attendance can be no
illusions, however, about the possibility of life existing in it, because
although Kepler 10b orbits a star (Kepler 10) very similar to our Sun, its
distance to it is twenty times less than separating the sun Mercury.
