- After analysing over four years of data from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft, a team of astronomers has discovered a star that is 11.2 billion years old and has at least five Earth-size planets.
- The findings show that Earth-size planets have formed throughout most of the universe’s 13.8-billion-year history, leaving open the possibility for the existence of ancient life in the galaxy.
- This star is named as Kepler-444. It is 25 percent smaller than our Sun and is 117 light years from Earth.
- It belongs to the first generation of stars and considered as part of one of the oldest systems in the galaxy.
- This star has five known planets which have sizes that fall between Mercury and Venus.
- These 5 planets are so close to their star that they complete their orbits in fewer than 10 days.
- This discovery is going to help astronomers learn more about the history of our solar system- Milky Way.
