Earth-like planet orbiting only one star of a binary system
An Earth-like planet locked in a weird orbit has been found in a two-star system. The newly-discovered planet, called OGLE-2013-BLG-0341LBb is located 3261 light-years away and has about twice the mass of the Earth. It orbits the smaller of two red dwarf stars at almost the same distance as the Earth orbits the Sun.
