- Astronomers discover over 100 new exoplanets using data from the now-defunct Kepler space telescope. Of the planets, 24 reside in multi-planet systems, 34 are roughly Earth-sized worlds with rocky compositions, and 7 are so close to their host stars that they circle them in less than 24 hours. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2018/12/kepler-and-gaia-team-up-to-confirm-104-new-exoplanets 3 comments space
