A Journey to Kepler-452B: The Most Earth-Like World Ever Discovered

Video Description

A Journey to Kepler-452B: The Most Earth-Like World Ever Discovered Picture standing on a distant hill, staring up at a sky that is not our own. The star above you looks a lot like the Sun, warm and golden, but a little older. The air smells different. The ground feels heavier beneath your feet. Somewhere beyond the horizon, maybe green forests breathe under a brighter sky or oceans glimmer beneath soft clouds. This place might not be Earth, yet something in your chest whispers: home… almost. For most of human history, we’ve dreamed of other Earths, but they lived in myth and hope. Then we began to search and the universe began to answer. We found strange worlds first. But one day, telescopes caught the tiny, perfect dimming of a Sun-like star 1,400 light-years away. That shadow belonged to Kepler-452b.
