Holy cow. Scientists have located an enormous, Earth like
exoplanet — it’s at just the right distance from its star that
it could support life we know it. Could it have life on there?
Scientists are calling the giant plant orbiting dwarf star HD
40307 — about 44 light years away — a potentially habitable
super-Earth. Crazy. But the late Carl Sagan back in the 197ps
insisted we’d eventually we’d find one of these, didn’t he? In a
book, he said that the odds of not finding a planet at a
distance from a star like ours was more nuts than finding one.
