Scientists have found what they believe is the closest potentially habitable planet to Earth. The rocky planet Wolf 1061c is a mere 14 light years away.
The discovery was made by a team of scientists from the University of New South Wales led by Christchurch-raised Dr Duncan Wright.
He tells Jesse Mulligan how it felt to discover Wolf 1061c – an 'Earth-like' planet four times the size of ours.
