Planet's gravity means a human could walk on the surface
Highest average temperature is -12C - cold but survivable. Scientists say incredible discovery points to universe full of Earth-like planets
The chances that future generations will one day colonise the stars have just got higher.
Astronomers tonight announced the discovery of the most Earth-like planet ever found - a rocky world three times the size of our own world, orbiting a star 20 light years away..
The planet lies in the star's 'Goldilocks zone' - the region in space where conditions are neither too hot or too cold for liquid water to form oceans, lakes and rivers.
How do they know the planet is there, because planets dont emit light, how do they then know what the atmosphere is like, how do they know what the mean temp is, how do they know the structure of the planet. there are a lot more questions to be asked. We need to be asking more questions of our scientists, not just taking them at their word, as there is an evolutionary agenda in every so called discovery.
