You all heard about "Earth 2.0." Now read an exclusive behind-the-scenes feature on the most Earth-like exoplanet found so far - and what it means for future discoveries.

This is so amazing! As I believe there is no doubt about life in a multitude of places in the Universe. I only hope I would live long enough to see any life form at all.
