"Researchers speaking today at the National Science Foundation announced the
discovery of the smallest extrasolar planet yet found - one that resembles
our own planet much
more than any other yet discovered. The planet is between 6 to 9 times the
mass of Earth and
orbits its host star once every 1.9 days at a distance of 2 million miles."
