50 new Earth like planets discovered

The Astronomers of Europe discovered 50 new planets.   All of them are behind the planets of our solar system.  Six of the planets resemble Earth very much.  The largest of these 50 planets is HD 85512 and it is 3 times by weight of earth.  It is 36 light years far away from Earth and is located in the Vela constellation.

Scientists believe that at  least 16 of these 50 planets have water, and assume that there is life on them.   Some of these planets have same weight as earth while some of them are 10 times heavier than our planet.
