I too think it is nice, though it still baffles me how it took so long for them to figure out how many planets in our own solar system.

I would feel confidant predicting that almost 100% of stars we can see (stable ones) have planets

Have they found evidence of the evil planet Nibiru? It’s due to make a near miss with Earth in late 2012, or so some people say.
You would think we would have seen it coming decades ago, you know?

Not really a big find. It didn't take very long for Kepler to find them. These exo planets have orbits of only a few days, which means, as the article says, they are too close to their stars and far too hot for life. It's still fascinating to know that exo planets seem to be fairly common, but we won't know of anything really interesting until Kepler finds planets with orbits of many months and/or years. That will take a while.

Great to know there are distant neighbors out there. Eventually we’ll find one that is blue green and white. Billions of stars out there,we are not alone, there has to be intelligent life out there. Unfortunately we won’t live to see them. Someday an interplanetary explorer will find them and have the means to get there. It may take a few hundred or a few thousand years or more but it will happen. Of course that is, if mankind can survive the arrival of the 10th Imam. s/
