Huffington Post Canada reported on four planetary discoveries by 22-year-old UBC student Michelle Kunimoto, including one with the potential for supporting life.

Kunimoto’s discoveries will be known as ‘planet candidates’ until they can be independently confirmed.

Two of the objects discovered are about the same size as Earth and a third is approximately the size of Mercury.
