Has Nasa found a new Earth? Astronomer discovers first same-sized planet in a 'Goldilocks zone' that could host alien life

The host star hasn’t been named but was identified as an M1 dwarf
M dwarfs make up 70% of stars in the galaxy and are smaller than our sun
Nasa astronomers found a total of five planets orbiting this unnamed host
The outermost planet sits in the star’s habitable zone and may have liquid water on its surface
This so-called goldilocks planet is believed to be 1.1 times the size of Earth
Until now, the most Earth-like planet was Kepler-62f - 1.4 times the size
Details of the new star system are due to be announced later this year
