Exoplanet Kepler-62e

Artist's concept depicts Kepler-62e, a super-Earth-size planet in the habitable zone of a star smaller and cooler than the sun, located about 1,200 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lyra. Kepler-62e orbits it's host star every 122 days and is roughly 60 percent larger than Earth in size. Scientists do not know if Kepler-62e is a waterworld or if it has a solid surface, but its discovery signals another step closer to finding a world similar to Earth. NASA's Ames Research Center manages Kepler's ground system development, mission operations and science data analysis. JPL managed the Kepler mission's development. Release date April 18, 2013.
