Actually it looks like earth that means it can be a place where we can live
There was a new planet recently discovered called Kepler-22b. I know the name of the planet sounds rediculous, maybe they should try giving it an actual name rather than a combination. According to scientists, the planet is about 600 light years away from us. The planet is about twice the size of Earth and may even have continents, oceans, and LIFE. This new planet was revealed today, December 6, 2011 so this is very exciting and interesting news (especially for science nerds). The temperatures of this new planet found, are around 22C, which is about equivalent to a warm spring day in the UK. This is the first"super-Earth" known to lie in the "habitable" zone of a Sun-like star. Scientists believe Kepler-22b may not only be habitable, but possibly even inhabited.
"This discovery supports the growing belief that we live in a universe crowded with life," said Dr Alan Boss, from the Carnegie Institution in Washington DC, who helped identify the planet from data obtained by the Kepler space telescope.
Wow, imagine what it would be like if there were actually other humans on this planet. If there are humans it would be amazing to find out what level of intelligence they have, engineering skills, and technology. They could be cave men or they could have already surpassed our technology!

Why did they renamed the planet Xena?
Only the International Astronomical Union (IAU) can rule on the official names of things in the sky such as planets, comets, moons, and such. The name "Xena" was pre-chosen for the next planet that the discoverers found that was larger than Pluto, but the IAU decided that since this wasn't a planet and was not really the name of a Greek demigod, they chose "Eris" as the official name of the newly discovered "dwarf planet" after Pluto.
