The extra-solar planet GJ667Cc (or Gliese 667Cc) has been declared the most Earth-like object known outside of our solar system.

The discovery was announced already in last November and recently confirmed. The planet GJ667Cc is even more similar to our Earth than Kepler-22b, which was confirmed as a potentially habitable planet just a few weeks ago. GJ667Cc, the new prime candidate for a habitable world, is only 22 lightyears (or 200 million million kilometres) away, which is in our direct cosmological neighbourhood.
