These Are the Two Most Earth-Like Planets Ever Discovered

A group of Harvard astronomers has announced the discovery of eight new exoplanets located in the “Goldilocks” zone of their stars—meaning that these planets might support liquid water. And, potentially, life. As if that isn’t exciting enough, it turns out that this new batch includes the two most Earth-like planets ever found. So move over, previous record-holders Kepler-186f and Kepler-62f, because Kepler-438b and Kepler-442b are now the planets most likely to resemble our own.
