A ton of planets now found in the Goldilocks Zone!



The Kepler Space Telescope, which is orbiting the sun (near earth), has found 461 planets in the Goldilocks zone of their respective stars!!! Kepler orbits the sun, not the earth. It points to one place in the sky continuously. It is named after 
Johannes Kepler. The founder of the type of orbit that the telescope rotates in.

Enjoy!
