New 'super-Earth' just 20 light-years away is our best chance yet to find alien life
HD 20794 d completes its orbit just shy of two Earth years, placing it well within reach of conditions that might harbor life.

'Super Earth': the exoplanet in the 'habitable zone' for alien life
Named HD 20794 D, the newly discovered exoplanet orbits a star similar to the Sun, and researchers believe it may be able to sustain liquid water, which is vital for life, as we know it, to exist. "Best of all,
New 'super-Earth' found that could host alien life - and it's six times bigger than ours
It is believed that the planet, named HD 20794 d, is at just the right distance from its star to sustain water on its surface, but because this distance changes over the course of its elliptical rather than circular orbit it is too early to say whether it could host life.
