In October 2012, European
astronomers found new planet that look like our Earth. It is the type of planet
they've been searching for across the Milky Way galaxy and they found it
circling a star right next door – 25 trillion miles away. This planet has no name
yet. The astronomers said that you can see this planet in the night sky without
telescope.
This planet surface is so hot, may
be like molten lava. The astronomers who
found it say it's likely there are other planets circling the same star, a
little farther away where it may be cool enough for water and life. And those
planets might fit the not-too-hot, not-too-cold description sometimes call the
Goldilocks Zone.
There has been a European-US
competition to find the nearest and most Earthlike exoplanets – planets outside
our solar system. So far scientists have found 842 of them, but think they
number in the billions. For support this article, you can read in here.
