A similar planet to the Earth, but too hot as so that some type of life can exist in him, it has been discovered in a near star`s orbit. Although the investigators do not have direct test that the new planet is rocky, its mass indicates that it is not a gigantic planet of gas, as Jupiter, they pointed out. It is calculated that the mass of the planet is between 5,9 and 7,5 superior to that of the Earth.

The planet rotates around a denominated star Gliese 876, located to 15 years light of the Earth, with an orbital time of 1,94 terrestrial days. It is calculated that the temperature of the new planet in its surface is of between 200 and 400 centigrade grades.
