Kepler-62f

A planet 1,200 light-years away is a good prospect for a habitable world

A distant 'super-Earth' size planet known as Kepler-62f could be habitable, a team of astronomers reports. The planet, which is about 1,200 light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Lyra, is approximately 40 percent larger than Earth. At that size, Kepler-62f is within the range of planets that are likely to be rocky and possibly could have oceans. Ref. Source 1r.

Kepler-f

Theories about planets that might be able to sustain human life are interesting but that will only be true when we get some kind of warp travel in place otherwise its just a dream.
