This one has had three confirmed transits so far, so at least we’re pretty certain it’s real, unlike Gliese 581g. I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be far less Earth-like than initial press releases would have us believe, but you’ve got to admit it, this is the closest we’ve got so far. It even orbits a sun-like star, has an orbital period not that distant from Earth’s, and probably isn’t tidally locked.
