Astronomers Find Earth-like Planet in the Milky Way

Scientists have recently discovered a planet almost 400 million light years away that is similar to our home planet Earth. It is interesting because this planet is close in size, almost twice the mass, but made up of the same materials Earth is. The only problem with keeping life on Kepler 78b is that the planet only orbits its sun(which is also similar to ours) from less than 1 million miles away. The Earth orbits from a distance of about 93 million miles, a much safer distance for sustainable life. Kepler 78b's revolution or year also only takes about 8 1/2 hours, whereas Earth's lasts 365 days. Astronomers are fascinated by this discovery, some concluding that there may be many other planets similar to ours out there, with a fair chance that some could be in a similar orbit to ours also.
