Astronomers Capture First Light from Alien Earth — Landmark Achievement for Exoplanet Research

The NASA Spitzer Space Telescope has accomplished what astronomers are already terming a “historic achievement.”  The infrared telescope actually allowed scientists to view light from a planet similar to our own outside of the solar system.  The implications, of course, are that they are actually seeing something from a place where life could exist.

The planet is 55 Cancri e and has been on the charts since 2004.  It is not likely to harbor life, but it is similar in nature to our planet in other ways.  Size-wise, it is much larger, leading scientists to call it a “super-Earth.”  In reality, they believe 55 Cancri e is around twice as wide as Earth and has eight times as much mass.
