Super earth discovered - "GJ 667Cc"

Are you one of those people who think about aliens ? Are we alone, or not? A new planet has been discovered which has been called 'Super Earth' (GJ 667Cc) , as it is 4.5 times as big as the Earth. It takes almost 28 days to compete an orbital lap around its Star. 

This planet has been described as our 'next door neighbor'. This planet most probably contains liquid water and due to these conditions life is very much possible on this planet. 

Many scientists have wondered, that if aliens do exist, they would have found us by now, given the amount of Clouroflourocarbons (CFCs) and other gasses in our atmosphere which are emitted by vehicles and industries and destroy the Ozone (O3) layer. So, many scientists believe they are avoiding us. There is speculation that they have abundant resources and they do not have anything they might want from our planet.
