The cluster of new worlds orbit a smaller star less than a0 light years away. Now, more research is planned to discover whether conditions on the planets are likely to support living organisms. Our science editor, David Shukman has the details. An artists impression of a startling discovery deep in space, around a faint and distant star, much weaker than our sun, is a collection of planets that are surprisingly similar to earth. In all, seven of these worlds have been spotted, and astronomers think it may change the way we look at the night sky.
