TAKEN FROM http://news.yahoo.com/nasa-telescope-confirms-alien-planet-habitable-zone-162005358.html
The newfound planet in the habitable zone is called Kepler-22b. It is located about 600 light-years away, orbiting a sun-like star.
Kepler-22b's radius is 2.4 times that of Earth, and the two planets have roughly similar temperatures. If the greenhouse effect operates there similarly to how it does on Earth, the average surface temperature on Kepler-22b would be 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius).
Perhaps we can re locate soon. Kepler-22b sound good to me.
