In just five years, the space observatory has identified up to 5,000 planets, more than in the entire history of astronomy.. perhaps 10 to 20 percent of stars around us have Earth-size planets in the habitable zone. Since our galaxy, the Milky Way, alone contains up to 400 billion stars, the first results obtained by Kepler are just a tiny sample of information about the universe. The Webb Telescope studies gases emanating from it, to see whether the planet has an atmosphere, and contains water and oxygen.
