An international team of astronomers has found the smallest Earth-like planet yet outside our Solar System.
The new planet has five times the Earth's mass and can be found about 25,000 light-years away towards the centre of the Milky Way, orbiting a red dwarf star.
The discovery, reported in the journal Nature, was made using a method called microlensing, which can detect far-off planets with an Earth-like mass.
