Seven New Exoplanets Discovered by NASA's Kepler Telescope
A new study has revealed seven previously unknown exoplanets orbiting the star Kepler-90, located 2,545 light years away from Earth. These planets have a remarkable similarity to the ones in our own Solar System, with Kepler-90i being the closest equivalent to Earth in terms of size. This discovery is important as it not only adds to the list of known exoplanets but also highlights our progress in the search for other Earth-like planets. The research team used machine-learning algorithms to identify exoplanets in the data from the Kepler Space Telescope. This method of searching for exoplanets is becoming increasingly popular as it can help astronomers to find planets that are too faint to be seen using traditional methods.
