NASA 發現第一個未見過的行星

NASA's Kepler Spacecraft Finds 1st Alien Planet of New Mission太空總署的太空船在新任務中發現第一個未見過的行星

NASA's Kepler space telescope is discovering alien planets again.

The prolific spacecraft has spotted its first new alien planet since being hobbled by a malfunction in May 2013, researchers announced today (Dec. 18). The newly discovered world, called HIP 116454b, is a "super Earth" about 2.5 times larger than our home planet. It lies 180 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Pisces — close enough to be studied by other instruments, scientists said.

這個被稱為HIP 11645b的『超級地球』約大於地球2.5倍。它離地球廳180光年，其位置近得可以用其他儀器觀察到。
