A newly discovered exoplanet, Kepler-452b, takes us closer than ever to finding a planet that looks like our own. This super-Earth is 60% larger than our home world, but its year is only 20 days longer than ours. That places it quite comfortably in the habitable zone of a star very much like our sun.
