Live from press conference: Today's one step closer to answering the question we asked as a kid - are there planets orbiting the stars in space, and are there suns and planets like our own? Are we alone in the universe?
Update 2: They are using fluctuations in light to find planets, just like when the moon goes in front of the sun to create eclipses. If these happen roughly every year, then those planets are likely to be like Earth.
Update 3: Exoplanet has been discovered that is a close cousin to our earth and sun. (The Earth 2.0) could be more but this is the one found so far
Update 4: Keplar 4-52b, Orbits 385 days to it's sun, larger radius, 5% further, sun 10% bigger, If rocky: we would weigh twice as much as we do on Earth but we would adapt after a few weeks of walking around, likely to be active volcanos
