Tiniest extrasolar planet found

Quote:

Astronomers have sighted the smallest extrasolar planet yet orbiting a normal star - a distant world just three times the size of our own.
Discovering a planet with a similar mass to that of Earth is considered the "holy grail" of research into planets that lie outside our Solar System.

I wonder if there is some entity on that planet reading about how scientists have discovered this planet?
