Yes, I think everyone that has read the news has heard of
"584 C" being the first Earth equivanent planet outside of our Solar System that astronomers have found yet. There are certainly more out there, but it will take some more time and dedication to find them.

Yes. It's sun is smaller than our sun. It is just right tempature wise to support life. Every other planet that they thought could support life was just a little too hot or a little too cold.
They are still determining if it has land mass or if it is a giant iceball.

Yes, although technically it is not a "new" planet, as it is 4 billion year old. It is a recently discovered planet.
And your question is...?

Yeah. It is 1.6 times the size of Earth and it is jsut the right distance from its star to sustain water in a liquid form (a necessity for life as we know it). Its name is Gliese 581c.
