New Earth-like planet could sustain life, scientists claim

A planet just 12 light years away from Earth orbitting a star similiar to our sun could be a suitable environment to sustain the right conditions for life, according to scientists.

Scientists have discovered a planet that could support life - orbiting a twin neighbour of the sun that is visible to the naked eye.

The planet is one of five thought to be circling a star that is just 12 light years away from Earth called Tau Ceti, which is near identical to the sun.
