Visit my website at http://www.junglejoel.com - astronomers using the Spitzer Space Telescope have detected what may be a planet two-thirds the size of Earth. The exoplanet candidate, called UCF-1.01, is located only 33 light-years away, orbiting the star GJ 436. It is possibly the nearest world to our solar system that is smaller than our home planet. Please rate and comment, thanks!
