A distant planet was found that can possibly allow the life of humanity and other organisms.
NASA's goal to finding more planets and other unknown objects in space is gaining progress. A planet found orbiting a star 20 light years can possibly harbor living organisms, including humans. No one will be able to go there anytime soon, but as of now it is the only other known Earthlike planet. It has the right conditions for water to exist on its surface, and the right temperatures for humans to survive. The planet has been named "Gliese 581g" and is also known as the "Goldilocks planet."
I chose this article because it is something new about the universe. All other news stories are on Earth.
