"We're a step closer to knowing if our galaxy is home to a multitude of planets like Earth or if we are a rarity. Two of the habitable zone super-Earth-size planets newly found are in a system called Kepler-62. Kepler-62 is a star somewhat colder and smaller than the Sun in the constellation Lyra, located 1, 200 light years from Earth. It is located within the field of vision of the Kepler spacecraft, the satellite that NASA's Kepler Mission uses to detect planets that may be transiting their stars. On April 18, 2013 it was announced that the star has 5 planets, two of which, Kepler-62e and -62f are likely solid planets within the star's habitable zone."
