A new exoplanet (also known as planets outside the Milky Way) was discovered by astronomers based on data from NASA's Kepler space telescope. It orbits a star very similar to our Sun and lies about 146 light years away. Despite the fact that the conditions on the discovered planet are not very similar to those on Earth (they are more reminiscent of those on Mars), scientists believe that there may be life on it. The new candidate for a habitable planet has been named HD 137010 b.
