New Earth-like planet found
Astronomers have found a planet that is in what they call the Goldilocks zone, meaning it is just right for life.
The planet is not too hot, and not too cold; it is not too far from its sun and not too close. This new planet is near Earth, relatively speaking: just 120 trillion miles away.
The discovery has led scientists to think that these examples of habitable planets are far more common than was previously thought.
While we look forward to more information about the possibility of more habitable planets, we've compiled some of the wonders of the solar system that we already know about. Click through the images below for more.
