NASA Kepler mission, which is tasked to detect Earth-like planets outside our solar system, as saopšeteno 4.1, for now, the mission succeeded to detect five extrasolar planets (Kepler 4b, 5b, 6b, 7b and 8b). Four planets are hot Jupiters, with diameters ranging from 1.3-1.5 diameter of Jupiter, orbiting very close to their Zvezvde while a hot Neptune. Perhaps the most interesting planets Kepler 7b, which is currently the smallest known density. Temperatures at all detected planets are very high, above 1900 ° C. As is clear to everyone that is too hot for life on them (at least that we know!) Oribitaljni ozkrivenih periods of extrasolar planets are between 3.3 and 4.5 days. For example, the orbital period of planets Kepler-5b is 3.5 days, while Kepler-6b make a full circle around the star for 3 days.

We expect that we Kepler usokoro provide more new information!
