Alpha Centuri Has Exoplanet

In the last few years, hundreds if not thousands of planets have been found outside of our solar system, but most them are extremely far away, even in terms of intergalactic travel.

The planet itself is Earth-sized but hellishly hot, though the scientists point out that this type of planet usually forms in clusters...giving hope that there may be one far enough away for liquid water...Check it out...
