Astronomers have discovered the "Holy Grail" - the planet can support life outside the solar system.
The planet lies in what you describe as the "habitable zone", not too close to the Sun to dry out, or too far away to freeze.
And the discovery could help answer the question of whether we are alone in the universe, which is plagued by astronomers and alien fanatics for years.
The scientists found a planet, Gliese 667Cc, orbiting the red dwarf star 22 light years away from earth.
