Astronomers have discovered the most Earth-like alien planet ever found. Its about as dense Earth and probably made of rock and iron. One catch: It’s so close to its star (and therefore so infernally hot) that it’s more of a hellish cousin than a twin. In fact, its star would loom on the horizon like a gigantic disk, filling up most of the sky. Not a bad view, if you didn’t mind being burned to a crisp.
