A new catalog based on Kepler space telescope data has found 219 additional planet candidates. Of these, 10 Earth-like planets orbit their star in the "seat zone," one that is at a distance that allows liquid water to exist on the surface. Illustration: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

The Kepler space telescope found 219 more planets and revealed a clear gap between terrestrial planets and mini-Neptunes
