An illustration of Kepler-186f, the first Earth-size planet discovered within a star’s habitable zone. The planet appears large on the right, illuminated by the distant Sun-like star in the lower left of the image. Much of the planet is in shadow, but in the light of its sun, Earthlike continents, oceans and clouds glow gold. Other planets are visible as small, bright spots orbiting the star.
