What are the chances...?
..actually, rather high, when we get the right tools to search with.
But that doesn't detract from this fantastic discovery. Another step on the way to becoming familiar and at ease with our galactic surroundings.

Virgin Galactic originally shared:
Awesome news: Scientists from NASA just announced the first verified discovery of an Earth-sized planet inside the "habitable zone" of another star.
A habitable zone is defined as the range of distances from a star where liquid water might pool on the surface of an orbiting planet. You can read more about the discovery here: http://www.nasa.gov/ames/kepler/nasas-kepler-discovers-first-earth-size-planet-in-the-habitable-zone-of-another-star/#.U1AZ1lVdXzh
So, who wants to go to Kepler-186f? <_raises hands_>
