SPACE.com => Planets Found in Potentially Habitable Setup

Three medium-sized planets of roughly the same mass as Neptune have been discovered around a nearby Sun-like star, scientists announced today.

The planets were discovered around HD 69830, a star slightly less massive than the Sun located 41 light-years away in the constellation Puppis (the Stern), using the ultra-precise HARPS spectrograph on the European Southern Observatory’s 3.6-meter La Silla telescope in Chile.

This sun-sized star with it’s smaller planes is on 41 light years away. Just a hop skip and a jump, once we overcome the physical laws of the universe (or at least re-write them.)
