I hope it's habitable. I need a good place for my hermit shack.

The "another" earth is 1400 light years away, The Kholod Hypersonic rocket is said as the fastest rocket in our world and it is capable of travelling at 6900 KM per hour. So it will take us to travel 219,280,524 years to reach there. It is something for our future generations to invent faster methods of travelling if human beings really want to go there.

Ok, this needs a lot more story. Amateur astronomer chiming in here. It is "another Earth" only in terms of size and distance from a relatively similar host star. I occasionally participate in a crowd source planet hunting project that crunches data from the space based, Kelper telescope that finds these planets. It cannot determine the planet's make up, atmosphere (or existence of), whether or not it actually has liquid water on it, it's climate, or it's stability of life sustaining properties. So while this find is scientifically significant, to call this another earth is a very premature statement and I wish NASA had not billed it this way.
