Astronomers say they have for the first time found a planet other than our own that is sometimes called the goldilocks zone for life. Its not too hot or cold. Its not to far from its star so it could contain liquid water. The planet itself is neither too big nor too small for the right surface, gravity and atmosphere.The new planet sits smack in the middle of what astronomers refer to as the habitable zone, unlike any of the nearly 500 other planets astronomers have found. It is in a galaxy close by. Finding a planet that could support life is a major step toward answering a very important question. Are we alone in this universe?
