That star is an M-dwarf, smaller, dimmer and cooler than our sun. So
... (4) Rowe and the others are still looking at far-away stars and planets found by the Kepler telescope. But after finding the Earth-like planet known as Kepler-186f, it seems reasonable to guess “that other ones are likely to exist. And that’s going to be the job of future missions to find (them).” A ...
