A space probe has discovered a planet that NASA calls the closest cousin yet to Earth.

“NASA’s Kepler mission has confirmed the first near-Earth-size planet in the ‘habitable zone’ around a sun-like star,” the U.S. space agency announced Thursday at a live-streamed news conference.

“This exciting result brings us one step closer to finding an Earth 2.0,” said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

The new planet, called Kepler 452b, is the smallest one found so far in the “habitable zone,” an area around a star similar to the Sun which scientists believe could support life. Another 11 planets have been discovered in the habitable zone, all of them more flawed as a potential Earth than this one, NASA said.

While the Kepler probe has confirmed the discovery of 1,030 planets in total in what’s known as the Kepler system, the latest discovery is of a planet orbiting a star “which most closely resemble the Earth and our Sun,” said Grunsfeld.

“We can think of Kepler-452b as an older, bigger cousin to Earth, providing an opportunity to understand and reflect upon Earth’s evolving environment,” said Jon Jenkins, Kepler data analysis lead.

“It’s awe-inspiring to consider that this planet has spent 6 billion years in the habitable zone of its star; longer than Earth,” said Jenkins. “That’s substantial opportunity for life to arise, should all the necessary ingredients and conditions for life exist on this planet.”

Kepler-452b is 50 per cent wider than Earth with a 385-day orbit around its sun, a NASA news release said.

More Like Chilliam Bakespeare: Forensic Scientists Say Bard May Have Been Huge Stoner

According to new discoveries by forensic scientists, William Shakespeare may have been a big ol’ stoner. And he never amounted to anything, did he?

The Independent reports (in an article with this excellent subheader):

State-of-the-art forensic technology from South Africa has been used to try and unravel the mystery of what was smoked in tobacco pipes found in the Stratford-upon-Avon garden of William Shakespeare.

Of the 24 pipe fragments discovered, 8 of them were found to contain cannabis (no word yet on whether or not The Bard may have perhaps just been holding them for a friend).

According to The Independent, Shakespeare’s love for the darling bud was obvious in his texts all along:

In Sonnet 76, he writes about “invention in a noted weed”, which could be interpreted to mean that Shakespeare was willing to use “weed”, or cannabis, while he was writing.

[…] In the same sonnet it appears that he would prefer not to be associated with “compounds strange”, which can be interpreted, at least potentially, to mean “strange drugs” (possibly cocaine).
