BestieThe world we live in is just a small part of a giant universe. There are many different things that we do not know about our universe. Mankind may seem large, but compared to what may be out there, we are small. So when NASA calls a sudden press conference, one can only hope it’s regarding something unknown.
Some people believe there are aliens out there, other people do not. I do believe that there are aliens out there. But I do not believe they are how movies portray them. With a universe as big as the one we are in, how could we be alone?
So when NASA calls a sudden press conference, I get extremely excited. This is especially true when their discovery has come from one of their main telescopes.
The telescope that has taken front and center for NASA’s big press conference is called the Kepler. This particular telescope is used to discover other earth. So whatever this telescope has found must be big, especially when NASA calls a sudden press conference.

Not much is known at this time about the press conference that will take place on Thursday. But I can tell you that it includes exoplanets. Exoplanets are small Earth-sized worlds which orbit around their own stars. According to researchers, these could be our best hope of finding other life forms.

NASA has informed the media that four engineers and scientists will take part in the press conference on Thursday, which includes Paul Hertz. Hertz leads NASA’s space and astrophysics division.

Here is a bit of information regarding the Kepler telescope. It was first launched in 2009, a time when scientists were unaware of how exoplanets were in the universe. It has now illustrated that these types of planets are more common than they thought.

Three years after it launched, its mission was finally complete in 2012. But because of its ability, NASA continued to let it work. In 2014 it started the K2 mission which looks for other exoplanets. It also studies other forms of the universe.
VadimSadovski/shutterstock.comThere is one issue with the telescope though; it collects too much data at times. This makes it difficult for researchers and scientists to pick through the data and find a planet of interest.

However, with the help of artificial intelligence, which is provided by Google, it will give NASA more manpower. On that note, Thursday should be an exciting day for NASA and the rest of planet earth!
