This artist's conception illustrates Kepler-22b, a planet known to comfortably circle in the habitable zone of a sun-like star. It is the first planet that NASA's Kepler mission has confirmed to orbit in a star's habitable zone - the region around a star where liquid water, a requirement for life on Earth, could persist. The planet is 2.4 times the size of Earth, making it the smallest yet found to orbit in the middle of the habitable zone of a star like our sun. Scientists do not yet know if the planet has a predominantly rocky, gaseous or liquid composition. It's possible that the world would have clouds in its atmosphere, as depicted here in the artist's interpretation.

P/S: How nice if the so-called idealists especially the self-proclaimed 'religio-idealist' who find themselves can't accept with the going on surround them or wish to be on their own without even a single being different from them, can transport themselves to this new world (since they can't get rid of with the many kinds of infidels surround them) and then without delay proclaim 'this is our world, no infidel must be in' and then start their kind of idealism which they so hard up for! May the Almighty grant their wish.... look much like the world after next life.....kah..kah..kah..
