Astronomers Find First Earth-like Planet in Habitable Zone

"Astronomers have discovered the most Earth-like planet outside our
Solar System to date, an exoplanet with a radius only 50% larger than
the Earth and capable of having liquid water. Using the ESO 3.6-m
telescope, a team of Swiss, French and Portuguese scientists
discovered a super-Earth about 5 times the mass of the Earth that
orbits a red dwarf, already known to harbour a Neptune-mass planet.
The astronomers have also strong evidence for the presence of a third
planet with a mass about 8 Earth masses"
