比尔布鲁克是来自加利福尼亚州的开普勒科学首席研究员,他表示说,“开普勒-62E行星和开普勒-62F行星都是看起来可能存在生命的星球”,他在墨菲特地区的美国国家航空航天局埃姆斯研究中心工作。
The third potential earth-like planet identified by the scientists is Kepler-69c, standing at 1.7 times bigger than Earth and orbits a star similar to our own sun. Borucki said it represents a big step towards finding the first ever “alien earth”.
科学家发现的第三颗可能类似地球的行星是开普勒-69C行星,它是地球体积的1.7倍,围绕着太阳附近的一颗恒星运动,布鲁克说这次的发现是人类在寻找第一颗“外星地球”过程中所迈出的一大步。
“We’re moving very rapidly towards finding an Earth analogue around a star like the sun,” Borucki told SPACE.com. Kepler-69c lies 2,700 light-years away in the Cyngus constellation.
“人类正在寻找一颗类地行星的探索之路上快步前行”,布鲁克在SPACE网站的访谈上说。开普勒-69C行星位于距离地球约2700光年的天鹅座星系。
The Kelper-62 discovery paper, which is being led by Borucki, was published Thursday in the journal Science.
布鲁克发起的开普勒-62探索论文于当地时间周四在《科学》杂志上发表。
The three potentially habitable worlds are part of a larger find. Scientists unveiled a total of seven new exoplanets, five in the Kepler-62 system and two in Kepler-69.
