Researchers from European Southern Observatory announced their discoveries about a planet close to our solar system which may be similar to Earth in its conditions, with scientists holding a press conference at ESO headquarters in Garching near Munich, Wednesday. Reportedly, the star is the closest body in the space to Earth that might contain life forms. Dr. Ansgar Reiners stated that "the [turning] period is 11.2 days and the minimum mass of the planet is 1.3 Earth masses."
