It lies about 500 light years from Earth and goes around its star. The planet is the right distance from its star for water: not too close and not too far. Water is one important condition that scientists guess is necessary for life. So it could have water and possible life. It's called a true Earth cousin.“This planet is an Earth cousin, not an Earth twin，” said Barclay, who is among a team of scientists reporting on the discovery in the magazine Science this week.“It's very exciting to find a planet similar to the Earth，” Barclay said. “It's not easy work because things change as we get more measurements.”Scientists don't know anything about the air of Kepler­186f, but it will be a task for future telescopes that can study for chemicals that have something to do with life.“It's possible for life to live i n this planet, but that doesn't mean there is life in it，” Barclay said.So far, scientists have found nearly 1，800 planets in the universe.“The past year has seen a lot of progress in the search for Earth­like planets.
