For nine years, Kepler stared at the stars and watched for the brief twinkles produced when orbi
52、ting planets block a portion of their stars light. By the end of its mission in 2018, Kepler had spotted some 2,800 exoplanets (外星行星) many of them nothing like the worlds orbiting our sun.But Keplers primary goal was always to determine how common planets like Earth are. The calculation required hel

55、be common, we had no observational evidence that they existed. But over the past decade, its become clear that planets are extremely common, outnumbering stars in the Milky Way.

56、sunlike stars hosted a world that met those criteria. We now know that the number is closer to 50 percent, if not more.Of course, many factors determine whether a world in the habitable zone is truly friendly for life.
