Earth-Like planet discovered in another solar system!!!


Scientists are one group who always amaze me by their new findings every other day. Now they are upto something really interesting. They have found out a planet that is earthlike. By earth like they mean that it is made of rocks in the first place and it rotates around a star similar to our sun. That means this planet belongs to another solar system just like our own solar system. May be I should give this new system a name of my own. But I dont want to steal their greatness.

This new planet is named CoRoT-7b, which was discovered last year made the scientists work for several months before they could determine its structure and composition. If you are planning an outing onto this planet think again. The day time temperatures here are a blazing 2,000 degrees celsius and the night time temperatures are a freezing -200 degrees celsius. You definitely can't survive there as of now. Just thought to share with you.
