New Earth: Scientists discover alien planet similar to Earth

Despite the differences, astronomers are still optimistic about this new discovery. One intriguing fact about this alien planet is that its orbit is closely similar to that of the Earth.
Astronomers from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand made this astonishing discovery. Even more exciting is how they manage to discover it.
The astronomers did not use traditional methods in discovering this alien planet. Instead, they utilize a new technique which they call microlensing.
Astronomers combine the data they gathered from two facilities. One is from the Gravitational Lensing Experiment in Poland. The other is from the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network, which is a group of instruments based in Australia, Chile, and South Africa.
Is it habitable--According to the astronomers, it is still too early to make assumptions that the alien planet is habitable. First of all, astronomers are still not sure about the details of star the planet orbits. They say that the temperature of the planet’s main star is crucial to the habitability of the planet.
On the other hand, scientists are optimistic about this recent discovery. For one, it is extremely rare to spot planets that are similar to Earth at this great vantage point. The alien planet is 24,722 lightyears away from Earth.
"To have an idea of the rarity of the detection, the time it took to observe the magnification due to the host star was approximately five days, while the planet was detected only during a small five-hour distortion," explained astronomer Antonio Herrera Martin of the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.
Can We Find Planet 9? Scientists Have a Plan

All the records of Planet 9 have been cut for several years. It was first mentioned back in 2014, but there’s nowhere to be found. Some scientists believe it might be a laser-launched spacecraft.
Edward Witten, who is one of the founders of the M-theory of physics, has made quite the statement: “There are hints of a new object (Planet 9) with a mass of 5-10 M in the external solar system at a distance of 500 [astronomical units]. If it’s a relatively conventional planet, it can be found in telescopic searches. Alternatively, it has been suggested that this frame may be the first black hole (PBH). In this case, normal searches fail.” He then continues with the fact that there’s a possible alternative, and that is to assemble the gravitational field of it with a laser-launched spacecraft. Such a spacecraft could reach planet 9 about ten years after the launch, and, if found, they could report back to Earth in 5 to 10 seconds.
Back in September, a study suggested that Planet 9 was not actually a planet, but it was a black hole. Black holes formed, in theory, after the universe. Scientists were not able to find then, but researchers believe in the importance of the dark matter.
Witten stated that he is not sure if this method will be helpful, or if he could find a mysterious object to work. Building a laser might be too expensive – it might cost about $517 million for a launch system. And the batteries would be $8,000. But these would not be all the costs, the spacecraft itself would cost money. However, with all of that in mind, it might still be possible to launch hundreds or thousands of miniature spacecraft, allowing them to search for Planet 9.
