COSMIC MESSAGE
Astronomers have found an Earth-like planet orbiting the nearby M-dwarf star Gliese 876. This planet has a mass about six times that of Earth, and its small size suggests it is terrestrial, with a solid surface. This discovery used the wobble method, which measures the tiny gravitational tug a planet exerts on its star.
