A team of European astronomers have just recently found a planet outside of our solar system that is the same size and distance from a star that earth is.. The one problem is that the surface is too hot that we may never be able to land on it. It is also 25 trillion miles away making the journey almost impossible. The good news however is there may be planets circling the star. So scientists are still searching for a planet within the Goldilocks Zone, somewhere that's not too hot and not too cold.
This article is quite short and straight to the point. The title grabs our attention because the way it is phrased it seems the planet might be inhabitable, however in the article they discuss how it is not. The article has a hint of humor too it keeping what could be a dry subject interesting. The author says "they found it circling a star right next door — 25 trillion miles away."In the second paragraph he says it is uninhabitable but in the third he continues to say there may be other planets circling that star so keep your hopes up. His organization is what mostly influences the readers mood. We are excited, then disappointing, and then excited again. Our mood changes with each paragraph. The length encourages one to read it because it is short so it does not take long and the subject matter is interesting enough that you will take 5 minutes out of your day to actually read and article in Time magazine
