Kepler-22b is the first confirmed planet in the "habitable zone," the area around a star where a planet could exist with liquid water on its surface, that has been discovered by NASA's Kepler mission.

It's several times larger than Earth and 600 light years away, but a newly discovered planet, Kepler-22b, is also said to be 72 degrees--and NASA's Kepler mission has named it as a planet that's just ...

The same team that recently discovered the possibly water-covered, life-supporting planet, Kepler 22b, two weeks ago announced the discovery of two more Earth-sized planets on Monday. Ars Technica's ...
