Mission- Find "New Earth"
A new telescope named Kepler telescope was blasted into the space. And it's mission is to spend three and a half years to find a planet that has similar characteristic like Earth's or a Earth-like planet. Scientists don't look forward to find any animals and humans on the Earth-like planet, but they said that there might be some living things on it. Living things to live on other planet is called Goldilocks effect. It is called Goldilocks effect because the planets is like Goldilocks in the story it has to keep a distance between other planets so that the Earth-like planet won't be too hot or cold.
The manager of Kepler project said "Trying to detect Jupiter-size planets crossing in front of their stars is like trying to measure the effect of a mosquito flying by a car's headlight.

"Finding Earth-sized planets is like trying to detect a very tiny flea in that same headlight."
