Astronomers have recently located a planet which they believe may be able to support life. They claim that it's the correct distance from its sun for liquid water to exist. They're calling the planet a "Super-Earth" due to the fact that it has a mass of about 7x of our own planet. It's official name is HD 40307g. HD 40307g is estimated to be 42 light years from us, which is close enough that scientists predict near-future technology will be able to directly photograph it.
I personally think this kind of stuff is so much more fun to read about than Romney's victory website accidentally being launched, or that Iran fired at a US drone that entered their airspace.
What do you think about the possibility of alien life? Yes, no, maybe so? I personally think there's no way that in a universe as big as the one we live in, that we're the only ones out there. Call me crazy if you want!
