Most Earth-like planet yet found

I read about Kepler-22b not long ago, so it's surprising to see Kepler-186f discovered not long after that (though the former's discovery came years ago). Interesting to see potential inhabited planets. Great for the imagination in the meantime.

Thanks for reading.
 
I'm excited for the James Webb telecope to go into space in four years... that's the next major upgrade, it seems, and we'll probably find way more of these potential earth clones than even now!

In the article for this planet, it says the planet is heavily irradiated because of something about the star it orbits. Too bad, since radiation and living things don't mix very well!
