First Potentially Habitable Extrasolar Planet Discovered
“not quite down to Earth-mass, and it is around a star that is much cooler and quite different in major ways, but nonetheless is within the habitable zone for that star, meaning liquid water could exist on its surface” USA Today National Science Foundation announcement [Editorial comment: what if they eventually find something alive on one of these?

Discussions about this discovery will probably reveal more about us than they will this “new” planet.
Anyway, the people living on that planet have already visited and surveyed earth. Their verdict? “Mostly Harmless”
