Astronomers have found an Earth-sized planet 146 light-years away from us in decades old NASA's Kepler Telescope data. HD 137010 b, a planet with Earth-like dimensions and a 355 days orbit, resides in its host star's habitable zone, and may be one of the strongest exoplanet candidates we've found in years. It looks perfect on paper, but... there may be a catch.
