Mountain View, Feb 23 (IBNS): Tech giant Google on Thursday dedicated a doodle to celebrate NASA's latest discovery, where the agency found out about seven Earth-like exoplanets.

The planets are orbiting a star named TRAPPIST-1.

Speaking about the discovery, Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters told media, "The discovery gives us a hint that finding a second Earth is not just a matter of if, but when."

He also termed it as 'very promising for the search for life beyond our solar system'.

"Earth to #TRAPPIST1...we read you loud and clear. Thanks @NASA for this cosmic discovery! #GoogleDoodle," a tweet from the Google Doodle account read.
