I meant to post this the other day but never got to it.  A new solar system was recently discovered that appears to have traits similar to our own, including a Jupiter-like planet orbiting a Sol-like star.  This is the first solar system discovered that has such similarities to our own, although many other planets have been discovered around distant stars.  This is just the the first time something resembling our own neck of the universe has been seen.  You can read the details by going here.
