Two newly discovered planet Kepler-438b-442b and Kepler are about 1.5 times the diameter of the Earth. The first planet orbits its star by 35.2 day. Second, it takes 112 days – gives NASA. The two stars orbit around which planets are smaller and cooler than the sun. “With each new discovery of these small, often rocky worlds, strengthens our determination to determine the frequency of Earth-like planets,” – said Doug Caldwell, a scientist at Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.

telescope Kepler collected data for four years. According to the researchers it long enough to find Earth-sized planets orbiting and at a similar time as she is.
