Kepler to Search for Exo-Earth

Discover magazine highlights the "Hunting for a Second Earth" in the November 2008 issue giving a focus to the planned spring 2009 launch [mov.] of the four-year mission known as Kepler. The article also provides a comparison with the on-going European COROT mission. The hopes of Kepler and COROT missions are to find earth-like planets in the "Habital Zone" [video] of remote stars in the near by Milky Way.
