NASA to Announce Kepler Discovery at Media Briefing
Quote:
Kepler is the first NASA mission capable of finding Earth-size planets in or near the "habitable zone," the region in a planetary system where liquid water can exist on the surface of the orbiting planet. Although additional observations will be needed over time to achieve that milestone, Kepler is detecting planets and planet candidates with a wide range of sizes and orbital distances to help us better understand our place in the galaxy.

Fingers crossed that this is going to be huge.

Wasn't there a NASA news conference before about something? Something we thought could be mind-blasting?

Those of you that saw this and are hoping to live on another planet in your lifetime are going to be disappointed...

Humans might not be enthralled with the planet, as “just right” in HD85512b's case is near-paralyzing humidity and temperatures between 30 and 50 degrees Celsius, plus 1.4 times the gravity we experience here.

probably won't be anything major. if it's catastrophic, they probably won't announce it. If it's awesome (i.e intelligent life) , they probably won't announce it. We as a species are not ready for either of those scenarios. Too many idiots on this planet.
