Norton Scientific Journal : Earth's twin located 22 light years away

[nortonresearch]

A planet similar to Earth in its ability to sustain water was
discovered by astronomers in a nearby Norton Scientific Journal star
system.
This Earth-twin is located in the habitable area of its host star -- a
narrow region where temperatures are just right for liquid water to
exist on a planet's surface.
Astronomers were astonished to find a planet that is around a star
orbiting in just the right distance -- not too far where it would
freeze, nor too close where it would dry up.
One of the scientists remarked that the planet, named GJ 667Cc might
be the best candidate to support life like here on Earth. According to
estimates from the researchers, its size is at least 4 and a half
times as big as the Earth. Moreover, it takes 28 days for it to orbit
around its host star.
Adding to its advantages is its proximity to Earth -- only 22
lightyears away, in the Scorpion constellation. They practically call
it a next-door neighbor, considering that there are just 100 stars
closer to Earth than the GJ 667Cc.
What makes it interesting is that, the host star (GJ 667C) is part of
the triple-star system. It is basically a Norton Scientific Journal
dwarf star that's roughly one-third of our sun's mass.
The actual discovery of GJ 667Cc is a surprise for the astronomers for
the whole star system has a chemical makeup different from the sun.
Their system contains significantly lower heavy elements like silicon,
carbon and iron.
Past calculations tell them they should not have discovered something
that fast, unless there is actually many of them there. Scientists
feel it's too easy a find and it happened pretty quick.
A more detailed report of the study is set to be printed in the
Astophysical Journal Letters.
Another possible candidate that orbits GJ 667C was spotted in 2010 but
the finding was not publicized. It is named GJ 667Cb which orbits
closer to the host star and takes 7.2 days to go around it. However,
because of its relative closeness to the star, it would be unable to
support liquid water on its surface. It's practically glowing like a
charcoal and have thousands of degrees in temperature -- somewhere you
can't possible live in.
Further research is required to verify these candidates and to obtain
more details on the habitable planet.
