The new planet's surface is thought to be searingly hot and unlikely to support life - but scientists say that other worlds could orbit the same star. But which worlds seen by our space telescopes are most likely to support life - or could it even lurk within our own solar system? [Related: Earth-sized planet found orbiting our nearest star] Name: Kepler 22bSize: EarthLocation: Cygnus solar systemDistance from Earth: 620 light yearsCould there be life? Of all the candidate planets for possible life, Kepler 22b – nicknamed Earth 2.0 – has long been thought to be the most credible. With an orbit of 290 days around a similar sun to our own, the average temperature is a balmy 22C – just 7C higher than on Earth. Its Mediterranean-like climate means there could be water on the planet, which is 2.4 times the size of our own. Day of darkness - how cyber terrorists could shut down whole cities.

There is no warning, and no explanation. People expect the power to come back on, but it doesn’t. People’s mobile phones suddenly stop working. Televisions don’t work. The internet has cut out. Huge alien planet is 'made of diamonds', say scientists. Future generations of astronauts could come back wealthy men - Yale scientists have detected a huge 'super-Earth' made of diamonds.
The study estimates that at least a third of the planet’s mass - the equivalent of about three times the mass of Earth - could be diamond. Earth weighs 5973600000000000000000000kg, and a kilo of reasonable quality diamonds currently fetches sums of $50 million and above. It orbits a sun-like star 40 light years from Earth, so any mineral prospectors would have quite a journey to stake their claim on its riches.

The planet is thought to be covered in graphite - the material found in the 'lead' of pencils - and diamonds.
Sciency stuff. The Ultimate Sci-Fi Movie Timeline. The science-fiction genre inexorably marches on much like time itself – new sci-fi films are always getting made, positing tales of possible futures, alternate realities, and mysterious pasts.

25 Greatest Unscripted Scenes in Films. RainyMood.com: Rain makes everything better. I took secret photos of my abortion to empower and educate women. 'The abortion procedure itself, albeit uncomfortable, was straightforward and passed with ease.' Photograph: thisismyabortion.com Recently, I had an abortion, which I documented with a hidden mobile phone camera and then shared the images on the internet.
I chronicled and published my experience on thisismyabortion.com to show what a safe abortion looks like, and to counter the perverse use of dead foetus images used by the anti-abortion movement. My hope is this project will help dispel the fear, lies and hysteria around abortion, and empower women to make educated decisions for their bodies. My mother had an illegal abortion some 30 or so years ago, and almost died from blood loss during the procedure. Soon after, I took a friend to a clinic for an abortion and encountered a mob of anti-abortion protesters waiting by the entrance. A year later, I was facing the same procedure. But once past the bulletproof doors to the clinic, I entered a sanctuary.
