Scientists find a replica of planet Earth in space

The surprise may be a watershed in the history of space research, published the journal Science, "Science" study today, which said the number of space scientists reached, and after five years of monitoring 166 stars spin at a distance of not more than 80 light-years from Earth using a telescope, "Cake" Giant in Hawaii, to monitor the planets revolve around stars, and registered an even smaller planets, which could be monitored by the telescope.

And a group of scientists estimated that the star and one of every four stars like the sun was surrounded by planets in the size of Earth. The researchers concluded in their study that the number of planets smaller than the larger planets. Although the smaller planets Rsduha still larger than the size of the Earth several times, what made them expect that it is likely to be planets that have the same size as the earth is more common.

He said space scientist Andrew Howard, "It is among about 100 star like the sun there was one or two rotates around planets the size of the buyer .. and 6 other revolves around the planets the size of Neptune and about 12 star around which planets than Earth's mass three to 12 times.

The magazine reported that a group of scientists hope to be able to find Earth-sized planets and is close enough to Hmosha so enjoy and be warm enough by liquid water.
