Astronomers have reported that with the help of the Kepler space telescope, they have discovered 3 more Earth-sized worlds orbiting nearby stars that have ocean-friendly orbits. According to their report, the Kepler-62 star has two planets, Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f, orbiting in ocean-friendly orbits around the star, and team astrophysicist Alan Boss mentions that this looks to be “the best example our team found yet of Earth-like planets in the habitable zone of a sun-like star.” A second star, dubbed Kepler 69, also looks to have a planet with a habitable zone, called Kepler-69c, which is 70% larger than earth.
