  • It is the planetary system that gives two for the price of one. The star Kepler 62 hosts a pair of planets roughly the size of Earth. Both are orbiting in the star's habitable zone, the region where temperatures should be neither too hot nor too cold, but just right for liquid water to exist. Known as Kepler 62e and Kepler 62f, these worlds are being hailed as the most life-friendly planets yet seen outside the solar system. Here, Becker talks about the star Kepler 62.
