Wolf 1061c, a SuperEarth/Mini Neptune Orbiting 14 Light Years Away Reported

The search is on for a second 'Earth' that humans could colonise and now there's a new candidate - Wolf 1061c.

The rocky orb, more than four times the mass of the Earth, is the closest potentially habitable planet found outside our solar system so far, orbiting a star just 14 light years away.

It is one of three detected by Australian astronomers that orbit a red dwarf star called Wolf 1061.
