Astronomers from the Swiss Observatory in Geneva, Switzerland may have discovered the first earth like planet, possibly capable of supporting life.
"We have estimated that the mean temperature of this super-Earth lies between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius, and water would thus be liquid," said Stephen Udry, author of the report.

Scientists and astrologers believe the planet to be 5 times the mass of earth, 50 percent bigger, and orbit its sun every 13 (earth) days.
Is this the first step to find extra-terrestrial life? Will society choose to devote its resources to advancing space exploration and possibly making contact?
Our own planet has so many issues, deciding how to prioritize this will be interesting.
I would also venture to guess that from this, new religions or cults may arise, and some may try to capitalize on this. No matter what happens, I think life has become a little more interesting.
