  • 00:03

    If we're learning one thing in this golden age of planet hunting, it's that our galaxy

  • 00:10

    is home to a wide diversity of other worlds.

  • 00:15

    We've yet to find another earth, but we're getting closer.

  • 00:25

    That's because of a growing class of planet detections known as "super earths."

  • 00:33

    These planets have a mass higher than that of Earth, but substantially lower than our

  • 00:40

    Neptune, at around ten times the mass of earth.

  • 00:47

    At the higher end of the mass scale, these planets are often referred to as mini-Neptunes

  • 00:53

    or gas dwarfs.

  • 00:58

    It's those at the lower end of the scale that have sparked our imaginations.

  • 01:07

    Take the star system called Gliese 667, 22 light years from Earth.

  • 01:14

    The central point in this image is actually two stars, A and B.

  • 01:21

    There's also a third, Gliese 667C.

  • 01:26

    It's the bright finger that juts out to the lower left of the two main stars.

  • 01:31

    That's where astronomers have found a solar system.

  • 01:36

    If you could visit one of the planets there, you'd experience the curious spectacle of

  • 01:41

    three suns rising.

  • 01:44

    They are part of an elaborate sky dance of stars and planets.

  • 01:48

    Planet E, pictured here as a crescent, is one of at least seven planets.

  • 01:58

    They were recently discovered by astronomers at the European Southern Observatory, on the

  • 02:04

    mountaintops of Chile.

  • 02:08

    By unraveling the pattern of wobbles in the star's light, they have determined that three

  • 02:15

    out of seven planets lie within the habitable zone, the range of distances in which there

  • 02:21

    is enough heat from the star to allow liquid water to flow, but not so much that it would

  • 02:26

    boil it off.

  • 02:29

    Sentient beings in residence here might consider the sight of just one sun rising to be boring.

  • 02:36

    Certainly their world is anything but.

  • 02:39

    Their parent star is slightly fainter and cooler than our sun.

  • 02:44

    That means that the habitable zone is closer and narrower than in our solar system.

  • 02:50

    In fact, it would fit entirely within the orbit of our Mercury.

  • 02:56

    Remarkably, the three worlds that are crammed into this zone are all considered to be rocky

  • 03:03

    super earths.

  • 03:08

    This is the first time that three such planets have been spotted within the same habitable

  • 03:13

    zone.

  • 03:14

    Of course, that does necessarily mean they are earth-like.

  • 03:20

    Our planet shows that it may take a range of specific characteristics to nurture life,

  • 03:27

    a magnetic field to deflect solar outbursts, a stable rotation, an active geology, and

  • 03:36

    just the right amount of water vapor and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to regulate surface

  • 03:42

    temperatures.

  • 03:45

    There is one other solar system that may well have what it takes.

  • 03:49

    The Kepler space telescope has a star in its sights that is well beyond our solar neighborhood.

  • 04:01

    Kepler 62 is considered to be "sun-like."

  • 04:10

    It weighs in at 69% the mass of our sun, with a radius of 64%.

  • 04:23

    Astronomers have discovered five planets orbiting the star, based on subtle dips in its light

  • 04:29

    as the planets pass between the star and earth.

  • 04:32

    Two of them, planets E and F are likely solid planets that lie within the star's habitable

  • 04:39

    zone.

  • 04:42

    The size of these planets is still uncertain.

  • 04:46

    They could be several tens of times the mass of Earth.

  • 04:50

    And the larger they are, the less likely they are to be life bearing.

  • 04:56

    Still, these Super Earth discoveries are part of an ever-growing diversity of planets known

  • 05:03

    to grace our galaxy.

  • 05:08

    No doubt there are planets, somewhere out there, that have the right characteristics

  • 05:13

    to be called "Earth-like."
