Using NASA's famed Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have determined
that an alien world located just 40 light years from Earth is unlike

The planet, known officially under the unflattering moniker GJ 1214b,
"is like no planet we know of," said Zachory Berta a researcher at the
Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
