BOFFINS have found an Earthsized planet 40 light years away which could support human life. 

The planet, Gliese 12 b, was spotted by researchers at the University of Warwick using Nasa satellites.

With an estimated surface temperature of around 42C, it is one of the few known rocky planets where humans could theoretically survive – if we could get there.
