"Today, NASA announced a new milestone in Kepler’s survey of the heavens — the confirmation of Kepler 62e and 62f as existing planets within the habitable zone of their parent star, Kepler 62. These discoveries are remarkable; this is the first time we’ve confirmed planets roughly the same size as Earth orbiting in the Goldilocks Zone. Kepler 62e is 1.61x Earth’s size and orbits every 122 days, while Kepler 62f is 1.41x Earth-size and orbits every 267 days".
So 3 inhabitable planets yet how many lifeforms were also identified? Zero
Moving the goalposts, how unusual for "believers".
" As of the last update, Kepler has detected 2,740 planetary candidates across 2046 stars. If Hubble brought us visions of the cosmos from the dawn of creation, Kepler has been vital in our search for other planets in our own backyard."
Give it time, we are only just starting to look.
