I think I know where I am going to go for my next vacation

It has pristine beaches untouched by humans.

Above a calm, dark ocean, a huge, bloated red sun rises in the sky - a full ten times the size of our Sun as seen from Earth. Small waves lap at a sandy shore and on the beach, something stirs...

This is the scene - or may be the scene - on what is possibly the most extraordinary world to have been discovered by astronomers: the first truly Earth-like planet to have been found outside our Solar System.

Hey, it's only 20.5 light years away. I just cant seem to find an airline that will take me.
