Who discovered that planet who everybody is calling the new earth?

Answer 1

The discovery of the planet by the team of Stéphane Udry of the Geneva Observatory in Switzerland was announced on April 24, 2007.

The team used the HARPS instrument (an echelle spectrograph) on the European Southern Observatory 3.6 m Telescope in La Silla, Chile.

Answer 2

It can be alike the earth. Still it needs more investigation.
Astronomy do not work on pessimistic view. It takes amount of experiments to prove something. In religious terms, Universe has never been created and it's an infinite entity. It means no explanation. It is like "Somebody asks you, 'How come all the secretaries in your company are women?' You can say, 'Well, it's always been that way.' That's a way of not having to explain it.

The distance of about 20 LT is beyond our reach, just impossible. But, communication is not. We can use light for speedy communication, for which 20 LY is just 20 Years and many of us would be alive to notice when we will receive the reply from the new earth at light speed after 40 years.

Always remember..."We are not alone..."

Answer 3

The discovery was by a team of European astronomers, using a telescope in La Silla in the Chilean Andes.

Answer 4

That's funny -- the new earth. It may have a sea of sulfuric acid on it and we don't and won't know. At shuttle speeds it's only 800000 years away
