    The Star Gliese 667c has been found to have three 'Super Earths' orbiting within its habitable zone. This is a massive breakthrough, as previous planets of this type have been found within a Mercury like orbit.

    Exciting news indeed, potential future home for us, or home to other species of life? Keep an eye on this one...

    In true Ryanair style, the airport for this destination is 50km from Lodz.

    Mind you, they do a good pint of Stellar. Don't use their toilets though, or you'll end up with rings around Uranus.

    Thats too far, would rather go on the nearest star ala Withernsea, only 80,000 years to get there by conventional rocket.
