3 Earth-like planets found by: Emma Wall

http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/02/health/three-habitable-planets-earth-dwarf-star/index.html

This article describes the potential of Earth-like planets.  The article states that there are three Earth-like planets orbiting a dwarf star.  Unfortunately, the dwarf star is 40 light years away. Scientists said that they saw shadows that appeared to be like eclipses.  These three planets are roughly the size of Earth.  The article provides images of what these planets are believed to look like.

It would be pretty cool to find other planets like Earth.  I find it very interesting that there could be places like Earth out there in the universe.  I wonder if they will further investigate these three planets or if will just end up being another unknown.  Regardless, I look forward to hearing more about the planets.  Hopefully, these scientists will find out more.

  1. That is so cool. I always think it's so fascinating how scientists can learn stuff about unexplored things so far away.
