Earth-Size Planet Orbiting Nearest Star Discovered

European researchers have detected a planet -- just slightly more massive than Earth -- orbiting very close to Alpha Centauri B, a sun-like star only 4.3 light-years from our Sun. Orbiting once every 3.2 days, the planet is not in the habitable zone
