Holy Guacamole!

An earth-like planet has been found in a solar system 20 light years away.  It's right smack-dab in the goldilocks zone (meaning it could easily have liquid water), is massive enough to hold an atmosphere, and is about 50-80% the size of the earth.

This is amazing!  There could be life there!  Or we could colonize it!
WHY IS THIS NOT FRONT-PAGE NEWS?!  WHO CARES ABOUT POLITICS?!
