研究人员周二(5月10日)说,对美国国家航空航天局(NASA)搜寻行星的开普勒太空望远镜在早期任务中搜集的数据进行的统计分析表明,实际上,之前被归类为“候选星球”的1284颗星球有99%以上的几率是真正的行星。这则声明让开普勒太空望远镜发现的、已得到确认的太阳系外行星总数增加至近2300颗,令认为拥有1000亿颗恒星的银河系遍布系外行星的观点得到更多证据的支持。根据开普勒太空望远镜迄今为止的发现 The researchers said Tuesday (May 10) that a statistical analysis of the data collected from earlier missions by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope revealed that in fact, the data previously classified as 1284 planets of “Candidate Planets” have a 99% chance of being real planets.
