Astronomers have located a planet, that they maintain is capable of supporting life. It lies in what scientists call a "habitable zone", as it is neither too close to its sun to dry out, nor too far away that it freezes.

Astronomers class it as their 'Holy Grail' of discoveries.

It has four and a half times the mass of Earth. Maybe it can support life, but I doubt very much it is habitable by humans.

Indeed. An average weight would be 800 lbs. We could use those exoskeletons they have for the militaries, but everything would be so much more difficult.

At first I thought that this new planet was my long since destroyed credit score. I doubt even the outer reaches of space could breath life back into that.:(
