Are aliens living just 40 light-years away? Astronomers 'hit the jackpot' by finding three Earth-sized habitable worlds bathed in 'eerie red light' around a nearby star.

SUMMARY                                                                                                                               The astronomers believe all three may be habitable, and they are now concentrating more technology on these new worlds to find out more.                                                                    The astronomers have discovered three Earth-sized planets orbiting a dwarf star.  This miniature planetary sistem that the astronomers have noticed is just 40 light-years away from Earth, and at least one of these worlds may be not too hot, not too cold, but 'just right'.                                                                                                                                               According to Michaël Gillon of the University of Liège, Belgium, the planets are 20 to 100 times closer to their star than Earth is to the sun. This is more similar to the system of Jupiter's moons than the solar system.                                                                                                                                                                                                                               VOCABULARY                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Dwarf
