Earth's Twin Just Discovered, Comes the Closest of any Found so far to Matching our Earth-Sun System (+Video)
Astronomers hunting for another Earth have found what may be the closest match yet, a potentially rocky planet circling its star at the same distance as the Earth orbits the Sun.
Not only is this planet squarely in the Goldilocks zone—where life could exist because it is neither too hot nor too cold to support liquid water—its star looks like an older cousin of our Sun,
That means the planet, which is 1,400 light-years away, could offer a glimpse into the Earth’s apocalyptic future, scientists said.
Known as Kepler 452b, the planet was detected by the Kepler Space Telescope, which has been hunting for other worlds like ours since 2009.
Its star is four percent more massive than the Sun, 10 percent brighter and 1.5 billion years older.
