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. ...

... 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. ...
