It orbits a red star and is 12,000 miles in diameter as opposed to Earth's 8,000 miles... meaning that it has heavier gravity than Earth.
Just like the planet Krypton!
In other news, scientists have discovered kryptonite deep inside a Serbian mine.
This has all put me in the mood to watch Superman Returns later tonight.
Seriously though, the planet is about 20 light years away... which is just around the corner so far as cosmic distances go (though getting there is a little problematic). Maybe Project Daedalus can be brought out of mothballs and sent off to investigate.
