          NASA revealed that 7 new planets as big as the Earth have been found. Three of them are livable for humans. NASA called their new findings with the name "exoplanet". This means that these planets are outside of the solar system. NASA shared this in the special press conference in Washington, D.C. According to NASA, Trappist exoplanet circle-1 (single star) is located only 39 light years from Earth. This is a new record for the category of the number of livable planets that have been found outside of the solar system. In the question and answer session after the announcement, the scientists of NASA said that it hasn't been confirmed yet that there is a presence of water on one of the newly discovered planet. But, NASA claims that 3 out of 7 new planets are livable. The name of one of these exoplanets hasn't been announced. This is because there is no easy system for naming the planets outside of the solar system that has existed.
