  • WASHINGTON - An orbiting NASA telescope is finding whole new worlds of possibilities in the search for alien life, including more than 50 potential planets that appear to be in the habitable zone. In just a year of peering out at a small slice of the galaxy, the Kepler telescope has spotted 1,235 possible planets outside our solar system. Amazingly, 54 of them are seemingly in the zone that could be hospitable to life - that is, not too hot or too cold, Kepler chief scientist William Borucki said.

  • The announcement this week of NASA's Kepler mission's first confirmed planet in the so-called "habitable zone" - that just- right region around a star that would provide comfortable conditions for liquid water, and perhaps, life - has ignited a media frenzy devoted to the hunt for "Earth's twin. Scientists soberly remind us that it is not, in fact, Earth's twin, but an intriguing discovery that brings us closer to finding it.

  • WASHINGTON - Lately, a handful of new discoveries make it seem more likely that we are not alone - that there is life somewhere else in the universe. In the past several days, scientists have reported there are three times as many stars as they previously thought. Another group of researchers discovered a microbe can live on arsenic, expanding our understanding of how life can thrive in the most harsh environments. And earlier this year, astronomers for the first time said they'd found a potentially habitable planet.

  • WASHINGTON - It used to be that planets were familiar places such as Mars and Saturn that orbited our sun and were well known to all schoolchildren. Since astronomers identified the first planet outside our solar system 13 years ago, however, that idea has become downright quaint. Because now, according to the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopedia, there are 277 confirmed "extrasolar" planets, and quite a few more on the list of those suspected but not yet confirmed.
