NASA's Kepler mission has discovered the first Earth-size planets orbiting a sun-like star outside our solar system. The planets, Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f, are too close to their star to be in the so-called habitable zone where liquid water could exist on a planet's surface, but they are the smallest exoplanets ever confirmed around a star like our sun
