Smallest earth-like planet found

Apr. 22 - Scientists say they have discovered a new exoplanet that is more similar to Earth than anything ever seen before.

An international team said that the solar system Gliese 581 revealed a new planet labeled “E”.

It is the smallest planets ever found outside our own solar system.

While “E” is similar to Earth, it is too close to the star it orbits around to be able to sustain life.
