Well folks scientists have discovered a bulkier and apparently more powerful twin to Earth and dubbed it Super-Earth ( May be its kryptonian =P ) The planet is 20 light years away and the first outside our solar system to be declared habitable...
Super Earth or Gliese 581d [discovered @ La Shila Observatory,Chile on 24th April 2007] is supposed to have rain falls and oceans, the planet orbits a red dwarf star Gliese 581 and is in the Goldilocks zone ... ( These names are getting amazingly fairytale like aren't they ?)
The planet is believed to be "tidally locked" which means its one side permannetly faces the sun, giving it a permanent day-side & night-side ...
But seriously i don't think it would do us much good unless we can procure the Millenium Falcon so that we can actually get there before a couple 1000 years... =P...
Hey but it lies in Constellation Libra...im a libra.. =P
u can read more @ National Geographic, CNN & of course Wikipedia ...
