The article correctly describes them as “Earth-size” and not “Earth-like.”

The most Earth-like planet ever discovered is almost the exact same size and mass as Earth and orbits at relatively close to the same orbit of a star that is identical in every respect to our own. In fact, the star is our own and the planet is called Venus.

I would not want to try and live there.

Hmm...1300 Fahrenheit and clouds of sulfuric acid. Yeah, that could discourage a feller. On the other hand, I spent a whole summer in LA one time...

What's really amusing is that it would be orders of magnitude easier to inhabit Venus than a planet around another star. Hey if you can get over the tinge of sulfuric acid I'll sell you a condo in a Cytherean cloud city!
