Astronomers announced that they discovered an earth like planet which could support the crucial conditions needed for life to exist.
The new planet sits directly in the middle of what is referred to as the habitable or Goldilocks zone (Gliese 581g), unlike the nearly 500 other planets astronomers have already found outside of Earth's solar system.
Gliese 581g is in Earth's galactic neighbourhood, which suggest that other Earth-like planets circle other stars.
Astronomers say the planet is neither too far from its star, nor too close and could likely contain liquid water.
