EARTH-2: KEPLER FINDS 1200 EXOPLANETS

Destaque semanal para Robert Parks (Kepler na imagem):

In 1543 Nicolaus Copernicus published De revolutionibus orbium coelestium describing a heliocentric solar system in which Earth is just one of several planets orbiting our Sun. Were there people on these other planets? It was a dangerous question. Religion claimed title to creation, and heresy was punishable by death. Four centuries later, the question still gnaws at us. But the Kepler exoplanets are far, far away. What could we see with a super telescope.
