Today, scientists have discovered a very intriguing star system approximately 43 light years away, using the Brahe space telescope.

This new star system, called "Brahe-45", nicknamed "Dream" by the scientists controlling the telescope, has been found.

The main star is 1/10 the size of the Sun, and has 5 planets orbiting around it, with 1 dwarf planet.

The first planet is a small, rocky planet with no apparent atmospherical composition. The second planet though, is "strangely purple" and has a thick atmosphere. The third planet is what scientists have been dreaming for for years.

Brahe-45-C has a breathable atmosphere with the same thickness as Earth's atmosphere. It also apparently is in the habitable zone, and contains liquid oceans. However, it is 10x smaller than Earth. "This is groundbreaking. No planet has been so similar to Earth, but at such a miniscule size," Linus de Vringen, the director of the Brahe program said.

The rest of the planets are a different story. The fourth planet is a red rocky planet with thin atmosphere, and the fifth planet is a large green gas giant with many moons. There is also a smaller icy dwarf planet.

Plans are already being created to send a probe to this star system, using the ITS-FTL+ launch vehicle from SpaceX. Scientists are all looking for what's next, because this could be very exciting.
