Fiar number of posts on this already but good find.
3rd - they find a far off planet that shows signs of intelligent life, but dont be scared folks - it's over 35 light years away! lol
The potentially habitable super-Earth, officially called HD 85512 b, is estimated to be only 3.6 times more massive than Earth, and its parent star is located about 35 light-years away, making it relatively nearby. HD 85512 b was found to orbit at the edge of its star's habitable zone, which is a narrow region in which the distance is just right that liquid water could exist given the right conditions.

It doesn't say anything about intelligent life. If it did that would be HUGE news.
