U.S. scientists said Thursday that they had discovered a planet similar to Earth around a distant sun-like star.
The planet is about 60 percent bigger than Earth. It was discovered using NASA's Kepler space telescope. The planet circles a star that is similar in size and temperature to the sun.
Astronomer Jon Jenkins said of the discovery, “In my mind, this is the closest thing we have to another planet like Earth.”
