... Kepler is a mission designed to detect and characterize Earth-sized planets around solar-like stars. The sizes of the planets are determined from the decrease in light from a star that occurs during planetary transits, and the orbital period is determined from the repeatability of the transits. ... These goals are accomplished by continuously and simultaneously monitoring a single field of 140,000 stars for evidence of brightness changes caused by transits of Earth-sized or larger planets. ...

... Astronomers have used a new technique to see the faint light from a planet that is orbiting a distant star. ... Instead, astronomers found them by looking for telltale clues, such as how the light from a star dims when an exo-planet passes in front of it, or how it wobbles because of the pull of an exo-planet s gravity. Astronomers can learn a lot about exo-planets that move in front of their stars. This is because the starlight passes through the exo-planet s atmosphere on its way to Earth. ...

Finally, if you ask "What is the exact scientific definition of 'planet'?", it turns out that nobody can answer it, because there really isn't one. ... The word itself means "wanderer" in Greek, and other cultures generally have words for "planet" with a similar meaning. So why isn't that good enough for us today? ...

... More on 51 Peg: . The discovery of a Jupiter--mass planet in orbit around the solar--type star 51Peg has been reported by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz (Geneva Observatory) on October 6th at the 9th Cambridge workshop on "cool stars, stellar systems, and the sun" held at Florence (Italy). ... Recall that the measurements of radial velocity only yield v sin i which in turn gives us M sin i. For most values of i, sin i will be greater than 0.5 and this gives a mass estimate of 0.5 Jupiter masses. ...

... Spectroscopy of white dwarf atmospheres has revealed metal pollution indicative of active accretion of rocky material (Gansicke et al. 2012), though the source of the debris - perhaps a disk of asteroids or tidally disrupted planets - is unknown. ... In addition, since typical white dwarfs are roughly Earth-sized, the transit of an Earth-sized planet can cause changes in brightness on the order of several tens of percent for durations on the order of one minute (Agol 2011). ...

Looking in the direction of the constellation Cygnus the Swan and launched by NASA in 2009 is the Kepler Space Observatory.Many previous missions searching for exoplanets mainly detected large giant planets, like large hot Jupiters (it is easier to detect larger planets).However KeplerтАЩs main objective is to search for much smaller planets located in a habitable zone which is not too close nor too far from their star; planets which may be just like our Earth. ...
