"That means possible conditions ideal for life," says TIME's Michael Lemonick. "That's a very significant discovery since we now have several examples of large planets orbiting stars like the sun." Lemonick says the new planets, about the size of our own sun, are located some 35 light years (200 trillion miles) away and have temperatures low enough to have water...
News of the new planets, Lemonick reports, follows grand picture shows by NASA that have also awed the astronomical world gathered in San Antonio. On Monday the space agency unvieled images from the Hubbell space craft showing galaxies never seen before. And on Tueday NASA released pictures showing the death throws of stars. "We've known for a long time how stellar objects burn up and that it's a fate our own sun will one day endure," says Lemonick.
