After three decades of searching, astronomers have found more than 6000 planets, but nothing quite like our own.
The new Terra Hunting Experiment in the Canary Islands is designed to find what we're really looking for: an Earth-size planet in an Earth-like orbit around a Sun-like star.

A second, complementary sky survey called 2ES (the Second Earth Spectrograph) will soon begin looking at stars in the southern hemisphere.
Both surveys will measure stellar motions to an accuracy of 10 cm/sec--about the speed of a crawling baby! Amazing how far the tech has come.
Here's more information about the Terra Hunting Experiment project:

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
