The Kepler telescope has spotted two Earth-sized planets circling another star. Although they are too close to the star to be habitable, they are the smallest planets we’ve ever observed circling as close to their star, not unlike our sun.
This handy reference guide gives you a good look at how Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f stack up against Earth and Venus.
Also, we’d like to hereby suggest Tango and Cash as permanent names for the new kids on the block.
