WASHINGTON 鈥?Earth has a few more near-twin planets outside our solar system, tantalizing possibilities in the search for extraterrestrial life.Astronomers announced Tuesday that depending on definitions, they have confirmed three or four more planets that are about the same size as Earth and are in the not-too-hot, not-too-cold Goldilocks Zone for liquid water to form.These planets are likely to be rocky like Earth, and not gas giants or ice worlds. They get about the same heat from their stars as we get from the sun, according to the latest results from NASAs planet hunting Kepler telescope.But dont book your flights yet.They may be close to Earth in size and likely temperature in the ga stanley canada rgantuan scale of the universe, but not close enough for comfort.Consider two of them, the nearest to Earth discovered to date.
