Earth 2.0

Kepler 452b or better known as Earth 2.0 is the most ‘Earth like planet’ Nasa has discovered.

Although the planet is far too far away to photograph, advanced Nasa technology means we know a surprising amount about this 'New Earth'

Kepler 452b is possibly the right temperature to allow liquid water to exist on the surface - as far as we know, this is essential for supporting life.

The new planet is slightly larger than Earth, and is estimated to have twice the gravitational pull of our own planet. However, according to the scientists on the Kepler team, this doesn't mean it couldn't support life.
The planet's star, Kepler 452, is slightly bigger than our own Sun. The added light and heat energy that the planet receives from the star not only means it is slightly warmer than Earth, but could also mean that plant life could thrive there.
Theres only one problem …it is 1,400 light years away from earth
