Scientists have discovered a new Earth-like planet.It's in the Kepler 22 solar system.The new planet is as close to our own planet as it circles its sun at almost the same distance as our Earth does our sun.A year on Kepler 22-b (as its referred to) is about 290 days.This planet is about 2.4 times bigger than our own Earth and as one scientists said if you were on Kepler 22-b today it would be balmy 70 degrees outside.Don't make reservations just yet BC its 600 light years away.One light year is about 6 trillion miles so it would be a long long ride.If you were on the name that new planet committee what would you name it?

Well they might as well call it dirt since it's not really a planet anymore. They aren't going to be teaching kids in school about the meteorite that was a planet.reply
