Astronomers have found an Earth-sized planet just outside of our Solar System, orbiting around our nearest star! For a long time astronomers have talked about the possibility of planets around this star, called Alpha Centauri. Because it's very similar to our own sun, and the closest possible place for life beyond the Solar System. But years of searching revealed nothing. Until now.
