Is it THE Most Important Planet Found Outside our Solar System?

This is a continuation about this new discovery.  And although 39 light years seems far it is close by universal standards:

But the new planet, called GJ 1132b, is only a cosmic stone’s throw from Earth, orbiting a fairly dim star, and appears to be a rocky world with an atmosphere. And while its surface temperature indicates that it may have more in common with Venus than Earth, it is so perfectly primed for Earth-based studying, that astrophysicist Drake Deming hailed it as “arguably the most important planet ever found outside the solar system.”

What do you think this will tell us about other exoplanets and do you think they will find evidence of extraterrestrials?

And the video below is a cool mini documentary on exoplanets.  We hope you like the video and check back for updates on this discovery.
