The planet is Kepler-186f and was discovered with NASA's Kepler telescope, originally launched in 2009 and recently crippled, but not before gathering enough data that researchers are still analyzing it and making discoveries like this.

Yes, this is kind of a big deal, as it's the "first validated Earth-size planet in the habitable zone of another star," as Elisa Quintana of the SETI Institute at NASA's Ames Research Center explained in a press conference Thursday.

Went there once. It's like Detroit, but for an entire planet. Place seriously sucks. Would not recommend to a friend.

Venus is in the "habitable zone". The greenhouse effect on any particular planet will affect rather or not it has life on the surface, not its position in its solar system. I don't know it they have a way to detect what the atmosphere is made up. Either way this was only a matter of life. But the first life we find will be on Europa.
