Not Too Hot Or Cold, This World Could Just Be Habitable, Scientists Say
Washington: Astronomers say they have for the first time spotted a planet beyond our own in what is sometimes called the Goldilocks zone for life: Not too hot, not too cold. Juuuust right.
Not too far from its star, not too close. So it could contain liquid water.
London: Scientists have warned that a huge solar flare is due to erupt in 2013, which could paralyse Earth, causing blackouts and chaos.
They fear that the giant explosion of energy from the Sun, a phenomenon which occurs only once every 100 years, could see power grids crash, communication systems collapse, planes grounded and internet shut down, the Sun reported.
The second Indian space mission to the moon, Chandrayaan 2, scheduled for 2013, will have three new Indian payloads and will repeat two instruments from the 2008 Chandrayaan 1 mission that lead to the discovery of water in the form of ice near the North Pole of the moon.

Nasa’s Kepler space probe has found more than just 706 potential new planets — it may also have found five new solar systems.
Buried in the deluge of data sent back by the probe are clear signs that at least five of the 150,000-plus stars it has studied may have two or more planets in orbit around them. Some appear similar to Earth.
