Newly discovered by San Francisco State researchers at the Lick Observatory in California, and further researched at the Keck I telescope in Hawaii, it's also the closest planet to our solar system ever found. There isn't another until you look 35 light-years -- 5.9 trillion miles -- away. It's also only the twelfth planet discovered in the universe. Since it formed...
