nasafound-Earth-like-planet-named-as-Kepler-452b-orbiting-cousin-of-Sun NASA is a scientific key from which scientists newly discover over the world. Currently, NASA discover Earth as they discovered planet Kepler 45b orbiting on Thursday. Astronomers hunting for another Earth have found what may be the nearest match yet, a potentially rocky planet circling its star at the same distance as the Earth orbits the Sun. According to US space agency, Earth -- where people can alive because it is neither too hot nor too cold to support liquid water -- its star looks like an older cousin of our Sun. That means the planet, which is 1,400 light-years away, could offer a glimpse into the Earth ' s apocalyptic future, scientists said. Known as Kepler 452b, the planet was detected by the US space agency ' s Kepler Space Telescope, which has been hunting for other worlds like ours since 2009. NASA expressed in their statement,"Kepler 452b is orbiting a close cousin of our Sun, but one that is 1.5 billion years older".  Its star is 4% more large than the Sun and 10% brighter. If the planet is rocky, and scientists believe that it has a better than even chance of being just that, then it could be in the aid of a fearful scenario, as the heat from its dying star evaporates Kepler 452b ' s lakes and oceans. "If Kepler 452b is real a rocky planet, its location vis-a-vis its star could mean that it is just entering a runaway greenhouse phase of its climate history," said Doug Caldwell, a Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute scientist working on the Kepler mission. "The extensive energy from its aging sun might be heating the surface and evaporating any oceans. The water vapor would be ended from the planet forever". "Kepler 452b could be experiencing presently what the Earth will undergo more than a billion years from now, as the Sun ages and grows brighter." The Kepler mission launched in 2009 to search for exoplanets, which are planets aside our solar system, particularly those about the size of Earth.
