Nasa discover nearly a hundred new planets

Nearly 100 new planets orbiting stars outside our solar system have been found by Nasa's Kepler telescope. Researchers confirmed the presence of the 95 worlds after studying 275 possible candidates from data provided by the probe. Kepler, which is currently on the K2 mission to discover exoplanets, has found thousands of candidates since it was launched almost a decade ago. The latest discovery raises hopes that astronomers may soon find a system similar to our own that hosts alien life.
