New technique finds Earth-like planet
25 01 2006Now this is cool! 
A new planet-hunting technique has detected the most Earth-like planet yet around a star other than our sun, raising hopes of finding a space rock that might support life, astronomers reported on Wednesday.
‘The team has discovered the most Earth-like planet yet, and more importantly, has demonstrated the power of a new technique that is sensitive to detecting habitable planets,’ Turner said in a statement.

BTW - Doing this for a bit now, there’s definitely a fairly replicated pattern in most of these news stories - the lead paragraph is important, the first paragraph after is nigh-unto useless, and then go with the third - that’s it - another new search idea “FirstandThird.com” - indexing only those two paragraphs from every news story on the planet - who needs more?
