★ TELEMETRY_SUMMARY
Kepler-452b is the first near-Earth-sized planet found in the habitable zone of a star very similar to our Sun. Its star is about 6 billion years old, 1.5 billion years older than our Sun. While it has a higher mass and gravity, its orbital period is nearly identical to Earth, making it one of the most promising candidates for life.
