American space agnecy NASA has announced the discovery of the first near earth’s size planet in the habitable zone of a star very similar to our sun. The new planet dubbed 17 Kepler-452b orbits a star at a distance which means it’s not too hot, not to cold to support water and essential ingredients for life. Jeff Coughlin is a Kepler research scientist.

美国航天局NASA首次在接近太阳的可居住地带发现了一颗与地球大小接近的行星。这颗新行星被命名为卡普勒——452B，在适当距离环绕一颗行星飞行。这个适当距离意味着不会太热，也不会太冷，能够保留液态水和生命所需的重要元素。杰夫·考夫林是这次开普勒研究的科学家。

” You and I probably won’t be traveling to the planet, you know, there are some unexpected risks there. But you know our children’s children’s children may. Kepler’s first step were finding out if planet like her a common, the answer seemed so far to be yes. You know the next step is to launch a next series of admission which will find a planet, there are, you know, closer to her. Things can be studying more in detail. And we can find those planets, you know that gives humankind something to shoot for.”

我们可能都没有到过那颗行星，那里有许多未知的危险，但是我们的后代有可能会到达那个星球。开普勒的第一步就是观察这颗行星是否接近地球，答案似乎差的很远。我们下一步就是进行一系列的发射任务，观察这颗行星周围的星球。这些事情还待进一步解决。我们能够找到这些行星，这给我们人类提供了一些认知。
