3 unusual facts about Earth mass


Hunt for Exomoons with Kepler

As with previous searches, though, no moons were conclusively discovered, constraining the maximum mass of a Kepler-22b moon below 0.54 Earth masses with 95% confidence.

Missa Gaia/Earth Mass

The mass includes the usual text, such as the Kyrie and the Agnus Dei, and also other text, hymns, and instrumental pieces.

Transit-timing variation

This provides an extremely sensitive method capable of detecting additional planets in the system with masses potentially as small as that of Earth.


Paul Halley

While organist and choirmaster at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, 1977 to 1989, he collaborated with Paul Winter to create the Missa Gaia/Earth Mass, Halley became a member of the Paul Winter Consort, and earned five Grammy Awards for his contributions as a composer and performer with the group.
