 |  Three 'known' Kepler exoplanets are more likely to be stars The hunt for exoplanets has apparently led to a few near misses. MIT researchers have discovered that three "planets" observed using the Kepler Space Telescope (Kepler-699b, Kepler-840b and Kepler-854b) are more likely to be small stars. They're simply too big, the scientists found — at two to four times Jupiter's size, they're larger than the largest confirmed planets. https://www.engadget.com/exoplanets-...3.html?src=rss |
