Yesterday (Sept. 29), a team of researchers announced the discovery of Gliese 581g, a rocky, roughly Earth-size planet in its parent star's so-called "habitable zone" a just-right range that can allow liquid water to exist.
One of the planet's discoverers said in a briefing yesterday that "the chances of life on this planet are 100 percent." To determine if this is true, researchers will have to scrutinize Gliese 581g from afar, searching its atmosphere for certain telltale molecules.
But it might be a while before they have the tools to do this properly.
Gliese 581g isn't far from Earth in the great scheme of things only 20.5 light-years or so. But that translates to about 120 trillion miles (194 trillion kilometers) 500 million times farther away from us than the moon.

Mad that, they say it aint far, 500 Million times further than the moon pmsl, it takes 2 weeks to get to the moon, imagine how long itd take for them to get there
Crackheads is all i can say
