Yes, a discovery of a planet outside of our solar system that appears to have conditions suitable for life. Swiss, French and Portuguese scientists have discovered a new exo-planet that orbits the red dwarf star Gliese 581 in the constellation Libra Gliese 581 is 20.5 light years from Earth.
The exoplanet is estimated to have temperatures that range from 0 to 40 degrees centigrade. Warm enough for liquid water. A year on the new planet is only 13 days and you would weigh 1.5x as much on the surface of the planet. There are at least two other less habitable exoplanets orbiting Gliese 581.
