Recently Scientists of NASA have discovered a most earth like planet yet named as "Kepler-452b" using Kepler(spacecraft).
Kepler
Kepler is a spacecraft which is used to survey in the space mostly in our region of Milky way Galaxy and try to discover the planets which has the same properties like earth. It is usually called the space observatory system launched by NASA .It is like a photo-sensor operates at 1100 watts, which sense the brightness of the observing star and transmit its data to earth so that the data can be process.
Kepler-452b
As explained Kepler is a space craft used to discover the planets by observing the star's light. If the light fluctuate it notice that any planet is revolving around it and passing from its front that's why the light was dim/fluctuating.
In July 2015 the discovery of "Kepler-452b" was announced according to the report by the Research Scientists , Kepler-452b is 1400 light years far from the earth and its diameter is 1.6 times larger and it is 5 times heaver than earth , so the gravitational force is double as compare to earth.
As the Kepler space craft operated from 2009 to 2013 so its discoveries were categorized in three type of stars. M-stars , K-stars , G-stars , M-stars are the one which have 4 orbits around them which is very less as compare to sun , and also there brightness is less than our sun. Other is the K-stars which have 7 orbits which was a little near to sun but the G-stars are the one have same orbits like sun and for the first time a planet is discovered around it which is "Kepler-452b".
