1. The Kepler space telescope detects planets and planet candidates by measuring dips in the
brightness of stars to search for planets. The two new planets, named Kepler-34b and Kepler-35b
are both gaseous Saturn-like planets. Kepler-34b orbits its two Sun-like stars every 289 days, and
the stars orbit one another every 28 days. Located in the constellation Cygnus, Kepler-34b and
Kepler-35b are discovered at 4,900 and 5,400 light-years from Earth.Kepler-35b orbits its
smaller and cooler hot stars every 131 days.
2. The milky way galaxy may be home to at least two billion earthlike planets. Up to 2.7% of a
sunlike stars in the milky way are Earth analogs.However, the number is actually far lower than
many scientists anticipated. The Keplar telescope has been scanning a patch of sky near Cygnus
constellation and analyzed the light from the 156,000 stars in its field of view. The published
data showed that 1.4% of sunlike stars should have Earth analogs in the Goldllocks zone. The
Goldilocks zone is dependent on the star's luminosity - brighter, hotter stars have habitable
zones with a larger radius. The possibility of liquid water is the main criterion for whether a
planet is suitable for life. The detection of water around a planet is detected via spectroscopy.
