ScienceCasts: In Search of Earth... 2.0

Visit science.nasa.gov/ for more.
Astronomers have long hoped to find another planet in the cosmos similar to Earth--a blue dot in the distance that could harbor life akin to our own. NASA's Kepler spacecraft may have found the next best thing.

Hope Kepler 452b be our next journey station.. Thanks NASA.

[@MsArlene100]

Excellent video!! THANK YOU DO MORE!! Kepler is Amazing!! We are not alone!

[@AeroEndeavour]

Really nice video presentation

[@JimmieABES]

This is exciting stuff!

[@AlphaDuplo]

I'm sure that life is out there. Maybe even inteligent life like we are on an Earth 2.0. Maybe they even know that we exists but they wont reach us cause of the distance. Who knows.
Anyways it's awesome to see that we are making huge steps to find out what else is out there :D

[@crazykailash]

If we can know it in our lifetime it would be awesome.
Fascinating stuff.

[@cmtiger]

is there's information about this Earth like moons(if any)?
it's important because our moon play a very important rule on Earth...

[@ChrisBullock1978]

They say the star is 2x bright but why when the stars are suppose to be similar to our Sun (aka our star). Might that star be latter in life like a super-giant. Granted if this is the case we can study this planet and see what happens when it explodes. We just need more info on the planet and star system

[@danczer1]

What is the next step? How do we know that the planet has or had life?

[@Tiktaalik]

Nobody knows, all fuel on earth with current tech will not get you to Kepler-452b

[@lightsidemaster]

Ok so it's 1400 lightyears away...
When do we start the expedition? :D

[@calliefriend488]

How incredible if it turns out to be totally inhabitable and we could actually travel there and back. One day in the future it will happen. This is so important that our young ones now living can learn and grow in a good positive world. With all the bad events happening i do not see this happening. Time to turn things around. :) So That planets like tis one can be examined and in habited.

[@SapaHollidaySaparonia]

Around 01:42 : "Kepler 452B is bigger and older than Earth", Is the fact that it is bigger one of the defining factors that shows it is older? If so does this mean that Jon Jenkins team recognises that Earth is growing?

[@Den-ow2cc]

Nice

[@superiorcheeze7204]

wow so we could /can live there ? that's awesome.

[@bipinghimire4223]

I want to go to space at least once before I die.

[@makotomikami]

I hope they don't have terrorists over there D:

[@therayen]

Totally Awesome =D

[@henrydarger]

How far away is that planet?

[@frankchamma6064]

good on you

[@netenemy]

Cool.

[@jeanlockwoodbonnie588]

We were supposed to move here. Generating Resent.

[@udhayachinnappan]

Hope it has Moon and waves in the ocean :)

[@WhiteTiger2014]

that's awesome

[@sebastienfaubert4891]

I hope they lived past their technological adolescence because with all that tension here on earth...I think we wont live "much" longer

[@ANT-ej8ob]
