GJ 1132b

That's the name of a newly discovered exoplanet that has astronomers salivating. It's about the size of Earth and lives in a solar system roughly 39 light-years from Earth. But that's close enough for it to be studied for signs of life, although it's unlikely that life exists there as the temperature is 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
