Planet 1,200 light-yrs away may have life: Study
Kepler-62f, a planet 1,200 light-years away and 40% larger than Earth, may be habitable, American astronomers reported. NASA had discovered Kepler-62f in 2013 as the outermost of five planets orbiting a star smaller and cooler than the sun. "We found there are multiple atmospheric compositions that allow it to be warm enough to have surface liquid water", a researcher said.
