reach that planet one day? i don t think so. we are talking 1400 light years away. this is the distance that light travels in a course of a year. that s 6 trillion miles. times that by 1400. and that s just too far it calculate, really let s be honest here. the earth criteria it reach said that it is similar size to mother earth. it is a sun-like star and is in the sweet zone of the habitable zone. we take earth for instance we are in the sweet spot, the geldgoldie locks zone as nasa calls it. if we were any close are we would be too hot. if you place an average male on the surface, it would be likely twice the weight of what he would experience here on earth. interesting. fascinate ppgingfascinating.
male let s call him frank. here he is on the screen. he weighs about 175 pounds or 80 kilograms. we determined on kepler 452b, the new, quote unquote habitle plan fete he would weigh roughly two times what he would weigh here on earth because gravity is about two times as strong. with all of that gravity weighing down on him it won t take long for him to walk around the planet and shed that weight osks. this particular planet is fascinating because it s so far away. but it s also met unique criteria being similar to earth. that is it is similar to earth s size. it rotates around a sun-like star and it s located in what is known as the habitable zone the, well, the sweet spot we ll call it in n. the nasa world they call it the goldilocks zone. it is around a sun or star like
than a billion years older. but it s the distinct similarities between the planets which have nasa scientists extremely excited. it s located within the so-called habitable zone. just like our planet kepler 452 b sits in an area around a sun-like star where water can exist on a planet s surface. the year 385 days long e and nasa says there s every chance its surface is rocky. all of these qualities adding up to a potential recipe to broad life. 20, 30 years from now we will tell signatures of life and atmospheres of these planets. as for getting anywhere near this potential earth 2.0, probably not in our lifetime. 452b is 1400 lightyears away and while the kepler project discovered some 1,000 planets so
mornings. wonderful, crazy mornings. we figure you probably don t have time to wait on hold. that s why at xfinity we re hard at work building new apps like this one that lets you choose a time for us to call you. so instead of waiting on hold, we ll call you when things are just as wonderful. [phone rings] but a little less crazy. we re doing everything we can to give you the best experience possible. because we should fit into your life. not the other way around. right now nasa is announcing a blockbuster discovery in earth like planet. kepler. it is a bigger older cousin to earth and in a far off sun- like
incognito and teammate jonathan martin who blew up the nfl by accusing mr. incognito of bullying him. i mean, give me a break. these are guys who spend all day sunday taunting, whooping and whacking each other nearly sense lens. bullying? a miss. this is a miss for the toronto mayor ford who admitted to smoking crack cocaine while in office, yet he refuses to resign. he says his heavy drinking drove him to smoke crack which for some of us is a second reason. yes, that s reassuring. in any case, there s no recall process in toronto. the city council cannot remove him. unless he grows a conscience, it looks like toronto will be stuck with him until the end of his term next year. the national academy of science reported this week there s $8.8 billion planets in the milky way about the same size of earth, about the same distance from a sun-like star. that means you could sustain water, oxygen, maybe life somewhere else. this is a hit for al gore and
