"Earthlike" planet discovered.. well not exactly. Ok, at 5 times earth's mass, this isn't somewhere you'd want to go fro a vacation. And we are guessing at best, in calling it earthlike. But, having a planet of this sort only 20 light years away(rather than a jovian gas ball) provides a pretty strong reason to build better instruments that call tell us more about this planet and its system. I heard a bit about this at wheaton's blog but marginal revolution had the details. I don't know what the current planet count is..230?... anyway. Slashdot. Wikipedia.
