NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler Telescope has spotted the first roughly Earth-sized world orbiting in the “Goldilocks zone” of another star – offering perhaps the best bet so far for life elsewhere in the universe.

A year on Kepler 452b, which is about 1,400 light years from us in the constellation Cygnus, is 385 days, meaning its orbit is just a bit farther away from its star than the Earth is from the sun. That places it squarely within what planetary scientists call the habitable zone, or “Goldilocks” zone — not too cold and not too hot.

“In my mind, this is the closest planet indeed to Earth,” Jon Jenkins, Kepler data analysis lead at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif, said at a media briefing. “The star is a little bit older and a little bit bigger and brighter, so it’s good that it’s a bit farther from its star.”

I'm super excited to announce that I will be partnering up with the talented Emma Elaine Photography to create one of a kind tintypes and ambrotypes that can be passed down for generations to come! Check out her blog for the details!

Albumen print from digital negative of scanned ambrotype. #collodion #albumen #wetplate

My first albumen print and also first from a collodion negative! Not great, but it's something. My negative wasn't dense enough so that's something I'm going to have to work on. #collodion #wetplate #albumen #historicprocess #photography

This will be my negative for albumen printing on Monday. Crossing my fingers that it works!

Mixing albumen with @emmaelainephoto! Eventually, the plan is to make albumen prints from wet plates but I'll start out with digital negatives. #albumen #photography #wetplate #collodion #eggs #alternativeprocess #scad #traditional
