A new planet has been found outside our solar system by "Swiss, French and Portuguese astronomers using the European Southern Observatory's 3.6m telescope at La Silla in Chile".
This planet has not been named yet but it is the smallest planet to be found discovered our solar system and it could possibly have the right temperature and environment to support life! (Aliens!!!! 0_0??? hmm the idea of aliens existing in the universe....haha think I will need some time to take in this if it's true!)
It is 20.5 light years away from Earth and one year on the planet only lasts for 13 days (as it is 14 times closer to the Sun then the Earth). Well, by 2020, the telescopes should be advance enough for the astronomers to take a closer look at this planet!!!
(hmm 2020! ahah who knows! May be I'll have the money to do space travel!!! : P)
