直接節錄目前重點
Today we're announcing the discovery of an exoplanet that as far as we can
tell is a pretty close cousin of Earth. It's the closest so far." "It's Earth
2.0."
我們發現跟地球極為相近的星球，它是地球"2.0"
Today, we're pleased to announce Kepler 452B."
今天，我們宣布這顆星球是Kepler 452B
Kepler 452B is 1.5 times the size of Earth - so it's likely to be rocky. It's
also the right distance from its star to potentially be inhabitable.
Kepler 452B是地球的1.5倍大，而且有類似像是岩石，恆星與他的距離
看起來是可以適合居住的
The size of the new planet's orbit is similar to Earth's, and its solar
system is very similar to our own.
軌跡跟地球非常相似，而且它的太陽系也跟我們很像
Kepler 452B is 6 billion years old, and it receives 10 per cent more energy
from its star than Earth
Kepler 452B有60億歲了，恆星能量對於地球約大於10%
Kepler 452B is 1400 light years from us, orbits its star every 385 days.
它距離我們1400光年，一年有385天
一位老兄在推特說了:
If my math is correct (probably isn't) - it took 9 years to get to Pluto,
which means it would take 550M years to get to Kepler452b. #Kepler
假如我數學沒錯，到冥王星要9年，那到Kepler452b要5.5億年
Now, we know of 12 planets that have potentially inhabitable conditions.
我們知道有12顆星球可能具有可以居住的條件
Kepler could also have liquid water, active volcanoes and photosynthesising
plants on its surface.
Kepler可能有液態水、火山和植物
Finally, the million-dollar question - could we travel to Kepler 542B?
最後，我們可以去Kepler 542B旅行嗎??
Jeff Coughlin: "This is humankind's first step."
"You and I probably won't be travelling to these planets - but our children's
children's children could be. This gives us something to aim for."
"One generation from now we might be able to get there. It gives humanity
something to aim for."
Jeff Coughlin: 這是人類的第一步，你跟我都不可能去這顆星球的，這些是未來人類們
可以研究的一個目標
我是看文字轉播大概翻譯一下，反正就是找到跟地球類似的星球了，現場是Q&A時間
小弟要去睡了，應該就這樣了，有後續消息，再麻煩其他大大了
