Until then, finding exoplanets was difficult because they depended on ground observations.. Then 2009year, The launch of the Kepler Space Telescope accelerated the search for exoplanets..
Kepler space telescope 9total for years 2709Discovered 10 exoplanets. About exoplanets discovered so far 70%find ‘planet hunter‘got a nickname.
Candidate planets discovered by the Kepler Space Telescope but not yet verified 2057it will be a dog. The Kepler Space Telescope has been retired. 2018Tess in the fl(TESS) A space telescope was launched and took over the baton of exoplanet exploration.
Tess space telescope 4exoplanets for years 213find the dog3874The search for exoplanets is fast-paced, including the discovery of 200 potential planets.. In addition, the James Webb Space Telescope, which left for space last Christmas, began full-scale observations..
With the addition of the James Webb Space Telescope, which has the best performance in history, it is expected to accelerate the process of discovering exoplanets..

of these planets, Where living things live2will earth from?
an area suitable for life ‘golden zone‘is called. It is a region that is exactly the distance from the central star, so it is not too hot or too cold, so that water can exist as a liquid on the surface of the planet..
Planets in the Goldilocks Zone are top priorities in the search for exoplanets..
Kepler space telescope 2011year found ‘Kepler-22b’is on Earth 600It is light years away and gained great interest as the first planet in the Goldilocks Zone.. Among the exoplanets discovered so far, the exoplanets with an environment in which life can live 2021year 12the month 59it is called a dog.
There are only Earth-like planets in our galaxy. 60It is estimated that over a billion. Indeed, mankind2can you find the earth from?
