NASA discovers new super-Earth and it’s relatively close

And the only found star in the Cygnus constellation with earth like features though larger in size and having a larger mass than Earth sits at 1800 light years away from us, Earth rotates the sun in 365 days while this planet nicknamed Earth 2.0 or Earth’s cousin takes 385 days to go around it’s sun, a feature that may be enabled by its size seeing that the radius is 1.63 times that of Earth and the orbital radius is 1.04 times that of Earth, almost to that of Earth.

The fun fact is that Kepler 452b or Earth’s cousin is 156 million kilometres from it’s sun Kepler-452 while Earth lies at 150 million kilometres away from the sun.

The sun Kepler-452 has a surface temperature of 5483⁰C while the sun of the solar system is at 5408⁰C making the two have a habitable environment with Kepler-452b receiving slightly more sun than Earth and capable to hold more population due to its size as it is 1.63 times larger than Earth.

Earth is estimated to be 4.54 billion years old while Kepler-452b is estimated to be 6.0 billion years old.

Now here is a mind-blowing reality

For a period of time earth have been receiving radio waves from outer space but mostly this radio waves came from neutron stars and magnetars as they could only send one radio wave but in the last period of years a rhythmic radio waves sent at intervals of 22 minutes with a pulse of 5 minutes. Research shows that the waves could have been from anywhere within a radius of 15000 light years away but we still don’t have the equipments to analyze the waves, decode the message and send it back, which now begs the question are there people on Kepler-452b with larger technology than us?
