Habitable Summary

Scientists have found a planet about the size of Earth in, what we consider to be, a habitable zone. This means that life could possibly exist in this zone. The planet's size is known but not much else. However, due to some previous research, scientists think the planet is rocky and mountainous. The planet is named Kepler-186f and it is found in the constellation Cygnus. This planet orbits a star that is much smaller than our sun, it is a red dwarf. Scientists will continue looking for Earth twins and just because a planet is in the habitable zone does not mean it is habitable. Maybe we need to look elsewhere.
