Earth sized planet (approximately 5.5 times the mass of the Earth) found and this time not in one of these crazy close to the star orbits.
Similarly sized extrasolar planets have been found before. But the method used to detect them meant we could see smallish planets only when they were very close to their suns, and such bodies are battered by scorching radiation.
Planet OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb looks much more like home. It lies about 390 million kilometres from its star: if it were inside our Solar System, the planet would sit between Mars and Jupiter.
Hm, scortching radiation or -200 Celcius surface temperature. Neither looks like home to me. Now if they detected rain, then…
it is really amazing . i feel like going 4 an expedition to ogle “the new wonder”
