Now after another four, Kepler\u2019s final planet catalog is complete &#8212; over 4,000 planet candidates have been found, with 50 of them possibly rocky and capable of having liquid water. For the first time in human history, we can calculate how common planets the same size and temperature as Earth are, a key component to SETI\u2019s goal of figuring out how common life may be in the universe.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y2bDaD7IlC4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>The <a href=\"https:\/\/keplerscience.arc.nasa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">K2 mission<\/a> began three years ago, and uses the Kepler spacecraft to stare at many different parts of the sky for 80 days at a time. A broad portion of the Astronomical community chooses what targets to observe, resulting in a wide variety of science, including supernovae, galaxies, stars, and of course exoplanets. K2 has found over 300 confirmed exoplanets and an additional 500 candidates. Some of these are likely to be habitable, and many of them are prime targets to be observed by future missions, such as the James Webb space telescope. We&#8217;ll discuss what we may learn about these worlds over the next few decades, and what future missions are being planned to find planets to which our descendants may one day travel.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">====<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none;\" src=\"\/\/rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/cm?o=1&amp;p=12&amp;l=ur1&amp;category=mp3&amp;f=ifr&amp;linkID=e925371d9a71da991024e906063e8170&amp;t=hobbyspace&amp;tracking_id=hobbyspace\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video of recent public lecture at the SETI Institute giving an overview of the exoplanet discoveries of the Kepler space telescope: The Era of Exoplanets Has Arrived &#8211; Jeff Coughlin &amp; Geert Barentsen (SETI Talk 2017) &#8211;\u00a0 NASA\u2019s Kepler space telescope was launched in 2009 and measured the brightness of 200,000 stars at unprecedented &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?p=15326\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Video: Kepler introduces the Era of Exoplanets<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exoplanets","category-seti"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p34aWK-3Zc","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":11313,"url":"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?p=11313","url_meta":{"origin":15326,"position":0},"title":"Video: Latest on occurrence rates of earth-like exoplanets","author":"TopSpacer","date":"September 4, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"Here's a SETI Institute seminar on using the Kepler space observatory data to determine how often\u00a0earth-like exoplanets will be found around other stars:\u00a0Planet Occurrence Rates with Kepler: Reaching Towards the Habitable Zone -\u00a0SETI Institute Dr. [Christopher Burke discusses the]\u00a0latest results in measuring terrestrial planet occurrence rates using the planet candidates\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Exoplanets&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Exoplanets","link":"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?cat=46"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/12mYmvHFr4I\/0.jpg?resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":7397,"url":"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?p=7397","url_meta":{"origin":15326,"position":1},"title":"Kepler space telescope finds first earth-size planet in habitable zone","author":"TopSpacer","date":"April 18, 2014","format":false,"excerpt":"An announcement from the NASA Kepler mission: NASA's Kepler Telescope Discovers First Earth-Size Planet in 'Habitable Zone' Using NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the first Earth-size planet orbiting a star in the \"habitable zone\" -- the range of distance from a star where liquid water might pool on\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Astronomy&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Astronomy","link":"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?cat=12"},"img":{"alt_text":"PIA18000_ip","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/PIA18000_ip-1024x575.jpg?resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":9598,"url":"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?p=9598","url_meta":{"origin":15326,"position":2},"title":"Kepler verifies more exoplanets and finds 554 new candidates","author":"TopSpacer","date":"January 6, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"Further analysis of data from the Kepler space observatory results in another big batch of candidate exoplanets plus eight former candidates are moving to the verified category.
