Exoplanet: Kepler-10b Description The first rocky planet to be discovered by NASA's Kepler Mission, Kepler-10b is an exoplanet 1.4 times the size of our Earth. An exoplanet is any identified planet outside of our own Solar System. As of June 2013, there have been 866 exoplanets identified, located around 671 stars, nearly all within the Milky Way Galaxy. Kepler-10b has a density 4.6 times that of Earth, or similar to an iron dumbbell.
Kepler is NASA's first mission to look specifically for Earth-size planets in the habitable zones (areas where liquid water could exist) around stars like our sun.Kepler will spend 3-1/2 years surveying more than 100,000 stars in the Cygnus-Lyra region of our Milky Way galaxy.atalie(A): The Kepler mission is named after Johannes Kepler -- the famous mathematician who devised the empirical laws of planetary motion in the 1600's. We use his laws to determine the mean distance between the planet and the star.
