In the universe, there is a Earth-like exoplanet which is just discovered by scientists. This exoplanet planet named Gliese 581g and locates 20 light-year away in its star "Goldilocks zone." The researchers from UCSC and Carnegie Institution of Washington have been studying a star named Red Dwarf near by Gliese 581g for 11 years. Right now, Gliese 4581g is the planet that scientists found most Earth-like. The mass Gliese 581g has a mass that is three to four times of Earth. Gliese 581g orbits its sun in 37 days, and it is a rocky world. However, the average surface temperature of the planet is estimated about -12c to -31c. The scientist has found nearly 500 other worlds other than our Solar System. More information on http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-enviroment-11444022
