摘要

描述
English: NASA's Kepler mission has discovered a new planetary system that is home to the smallest planet yet found around a star like the Sun, approximately 210 light-years away in the constellation Lyra.

The artist's concept depicts the new planet dubbed Kepler-37b. The planet is slightly larger than the Moon, measuring about one-third the size of Earth. Kepler-37b orbits its host star every 13 days at less than one-third the distance Mercury is to the Sun. The estimated surface temperature of this smoldering planet, at more than 800 degrees Fahrenheit (700 degrees Kelvin), would melt the zinc in a penny.

Astronomers do not think the tiny planet has an atmosphere or could support life as we know it, but the Moon-size world is almost certainly rocky in composition.
