>> we used four years of data, from the kepler satellite, what kepler tell us is the size of the planet, the distance from the host star and the energy that that planet receives from its host star. other than that, we have no idea what these planets are like other than that, we don't know if they have liquid water oceans, if they're habitable or inhabited. this is an important stepping-stone to absencing those questions. >> what is that doing by the way? >> kepler is not taking data according to its primary initial mission. although future uses and different uses for kepler are being considered currently. >> let's go back to talking a little bit more about what this is. a habitable zone. so that means there's some distance at which these planets would occur around that central force. >> exactly, yes. so the habitable zone is the range of orbits where planets receive roughly the same amount of energy from their host star as the earth receives from the sun. i'll add that the habitable range is quite broad. venus and mars could be in the habitable zone. we know that venus and mars are not

kepler observanc observes 150,0. while we haven't taken a picture of these planets we've detected their presence by the dimming that it causes when the planet crosses the face of its host star. >> we can't wait what else you find out there. erik thanks very much for telling us what's out in the neighborhood. we'll see. >> thanks for having me. >> coming up, egypt in turmoil, inspired, political landscape through the eye of an artist. find out what happened and what to expect. >> start every morning, every day, 5am to 9 eastern with al jazeera america. >> audiences are intelligent >> and finally from us tonight, another seeming vision of differences. we have seen the violent and politically charged events around egypt's revolution. in fact just today the ousted president mohamed morsi finally insisting he's the government's real leader and grandstanding public appearance. but there is a way to see change and even revolution with an artist. al jazeera's antisal abolissa. >> inside a gallery on new york's east side, big

and back in the 1700s, kepler found some very, very interesting things. first of all, kepler found out that the planets go around the sun, not in circles, but in what? ellipses and i can draw an ellipse for you, gang. an ellipse can be constructed as such. i wish i knew this when i was in high school in wood shop when i had to make a coffee table and i made an elliptical type coffee table and i thought i was very clever because what i did is i drew one quadrant of an ellipse on newspaper and cut it out and then folded it over, traced it, folded it over, traced it, folded it over, traced it and i thought i had what was a nice ellipse. if i had known about this, i would have had a better coffee table. i can construct an ellipse very simply, watch this. and turn the string around, gang. you kinda get the idea. that is an ellipse. an ellipse is a path whereby the distance at any point, like out here, the distance from here to here plus the distance from here to here is a constant. that's the definition of ellipse. take a math class, you'll learn that, but the

what n laymans term what does kepler actually see in. >> what we've been surveying with the nasa keplerescope 150,000 stars for four years. it was a brilliant stroke by nasa to build this new telescope and we watch for stars that dim as the earth-like planet crosss in front of the star blocking a little of the starlight and that census of 150,000 stars shows that about bun in five of them has a planet the size of the earth and the temperature of the earth. >> brown:. >> brown: there are caveats. a number of caveats. tell us what we don't know about these planets and whether they're, in fact, suitable for life? hfrjts this is the $464 million question. do these planets that orbit their stars in orbits that remind us of the earth, the size of the earth, do they actually have liquid water? do they have lakes and oceans within which the biochemistry of life could flourish? do they have atmospheres that are conducive to life? do these planets have a moon that might stabilize the spin of their planets? so there could be properties of planets that render them suitable for life that we don't ev

new research from the kepler spacecraft shows there could be 25 billion planets like earth in the milky. >> a man describes himself as feeling very tingly. are you feeling tingly? >> yes, but not for that reason. >> okay, touche. >> very good. >>> how big of a deal is this? >> we look at the how the data is gathered and the model from the kepler satellite, what it allows astronomers to do is realize there are probably many more planets like earth in our galaxy. >> if there are more planets there's more than like on a probability basis that there's something happening on one of those planets? >> the most important is the probability basis. 400 billion stars in the galaxy. if you take some percentage of those, say, 10% that comes out to 40 billion planets that could possibly be like earth. if you continue shaving that, you say the possibility tour life of some type goes up dramatically. >> go ahead. >> "the washington post" piece on discovery says the closest planet might be 12 light years away. in practical terms, ho long will it take us to know what's there? >> well, the difficulty is,

in mind here is that, you know, the limits of physics make it impossible to replace a hubble or a kepler. i'm holding a cubesat in my hand. this is the size. event the most expensive well-built camera can only be so good in this format. with enough of these up there - 10, 100, 1,000 - you end up with a networked platform where you put images together, powering each other. >> for someone that wants to monitor something on earth using a cubesat. is there restrictions to getting them launched? >> what is amazing about the kids launching these - they are kids, university students - there's massive restrictions. they are having to deal with military restrictions, there's itar stuff, agreements where you have to keep it from falling into foreign hands. i talked to a kit who talked about going to a launch side. they arrived with a flat bed truck. he showed up in a honda civic. there's a culture clash going on. >> speaking of culture clash or together, that is thanksgiving tomorrow. when many are sitting for their turkey dinner, the space community could be in for a show. >> the ison comet is co

all this analysis this comes from data collected by the kepler spacecraft. what does the telescope see. the kepler telescope stairs at one pax. like if you stuck young hand out. it's ta size of the sky. it takes a picture of every star. it looks for of the star to get dimmer, because the planet is passing in front of the star. if i were to block the life from the studio i'd get dimmer. it's similar. you are blocking life with the plap et. it's etic u lousily taking pictures. when it passes in front we know it's a planet with a specific orbit. >> do you think we'll find life somewhere else in the universe? >> i can tell you what i think. >> let me flip it around as a scientist. my hypothesis is that there is. but i have to test it. the way to test it is to take a picture of one of the plants ents and analyse the picture to see if it has sits of the gases that we breathe in and outer or the green foliage. i like to think there is. as a scientist thinking that there is is not good enough. we have to do the experiment. >> perhaps that is them. appreciate your en
