The closest potentially habitable planet is about seven light years away, according to the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The lead author of the paper is John Barry a former Yale graduate student now at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

#How to cash in on cheap Earth-watching satellites THERE ARE some big plans brewing for small satellites. With hordes of cheap orbiters filling the skies researchers
In 2002 a team led by astrobiologist Charles Cockell at the University of Edinburgh UK discovered a unique group of cyanobacteria in Haughton crater in northern Canada.
The team's findings provide the first direct evidence that crystal cocoons formed by impacts might have been radiation-proof cradles for early life (International Journal of Astrobiology doi. org/tcs.
Now Xavier Dumusque of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge Massachusetts and his colleagues have used the HARPS-N telescope in the Canary islands to pin down Kepler-10c's mass.
For sure this BICEP2 result will put even more pressure on Planck's next release says Fabio Finelli a Planck team leader at Italy's National Institute for Astrophysics in Bologna.
However Cassini team member Carolyn Porco at the Space science Institute in Boulder Colorado has written a paper (soon to appear in the journal Astrobiology) arguing for a mission to collect samples from Enceladus and return them to Earth.
The worst-case scenario is the Kessler syndrome proposed by astrophysicist Donald Kessler in the 1970s.
Astrobiologists have wondered long whether life or its ingredients could have travelled to Earth on the back of a comet or asteroid.

Sprain and Paul Renne director of the Berkeley Geochronology Center and a UC Berkeley professor-in-residence of earth and planetary science are coauthors of the study
and David Phillips of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics want to rediscover Venus--that familiar nearby planet stargazers can see with the naked eye much of the year.
We are building a telescope that will let us see the sun the way we would see other stars said Phillips who is a staff scientist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
He and Li a research associate at the Center for Astrophysics will describe the device in a paper to be presented at The Optical Society's (OSA) 98th Annual Meeting Frontiers in Optics being held Oct 19-23 in Tucson Arizona USA.
