A new Earth like planet Kepler 22-b was discovered in 2009 but only recently confirmed as a planet.
Its made big news as it is thought to be around 2.4 times the size to Earth and orbits a star that is similar to our own star (the sun) around 600 light years away. More importantly though, it is in the habitable zone, orbiting just the right distance from its star to allow for water to occur in liquid form - essential for life as we know it.
There is a lot that we don't know about it as it is so far away, we don't even know what its atmosphere is like or even if it has one, which is also essential to life.
