Are aliens living just 40 light-years away? Astronomers 'hit the jackpot' by finding THREE Earth-sized habitable worlds bathed in 'eerie red light' around a nearby star

An international team of researchers used a telescope in Chile to spot the planetary system, and claim it may be the best bet for life beyond our solar system. 

The scientists believe that at least one of these 'three bears' planets may be 'just right' for life to get going. An artist's impression of the view of the star from two of the planets is shown left and top right. One of the planets and the star is illustrated bottom right.
