The US space agency announced last Thursday that after 20 years of searching the universe its Kepler project had found, for the first time, an Earth-like planet orbiting a star like our own Sun at a similar distance.
The discovery of the new exo-planet Kepler-452b, 60 per cent larger than Earth, made international headlines and raised hopes humans may not be alone in the cosmos.
Exo planets are those which orbit a star other than our sun.
Kepler-452b is among more than 1,000 exoplanets, which are thought to have similar attributes to Earth such as a rocky surface, oceans and orbiting a star like our Sun at a habitable distance.
