NASA's Kepler mission has confirmed its first planet in the "habitable zone," the region where liquid water could exist on a planet's surface. Kepler also has discovered more than 1,000 new planet candidates, nearly doubling its previously known count. Ten of these candidates are near-Earth-size and orbit in the habitable zone of their host star. Candidates require follow-up observations to verify they are actual planets.

Its so similar to earth, that some scientists are calling it an "earth twin."thumbsup

Too bad it's so far away. I wouldn't mind relocating to another planet.

If earth didn't spend so much money on niggers we probably would have the technology to get there by now.
