¿Exoplanetas habitables?

The Kepler spacecraft, launched by NASA in 2009, has discovered 8 new planets similar to Earth, though they are twice as large. These planets have characteristics that suggest they could host liquid water and potentially life. As of now, over 1,800 exoplanets have been identified. The video encourages viewers to imagine the implications of discovering life on other planets.

What is the significance of the eight new planets discovered by the Kepler spacecraft?

• They have no potential to support life.

• They are identical in size to Earth.

• They are twice as large as Earth and may support liquid water.

• They are located within our solar system.

What does the discovery of planets with potential liquid water suggest?

• They are too far to study further.

• They might be able to host life.

• They are too cold to support life.

• They are too hot to support life.
