NASA has found at least seven earth-like planets orbiting the same star 40 light-years away, according to a study published in the journal Nature.
According to CNN the findings were also announced at a news conference at NASA Headquarters in Washington and this discovery outside our solar system is rare because the planets have the winning combination of being similar in size to Earth.
This means that they could have water on their surface and potentially support life.
