Kepler telescope finds Tatooine!!!

Well, not really, but a few planets like it, and other assorted weirdness. (dwarf sun with shrunken planets anyone?) They are finding that planets outnumber stars. The more we learn, the harder it is for me to believe we are alone in the universe. Source:

Any thoughts?

Whether we're alone in the universe or not doesn't matter. Someone's got to be first.

I just hope they are peaceful and friendly, then we can invade and steal all their resources.

Seems like only yesterday when we discovered our first exoplanet and the day before that we were arguing if we ever could.

This may add a nice update to the Drake Equation.

The code to their atmosphere will probably be 1 2 3 4 5. Send the Mega Maid!

"Bah, that's the stupidest combination I've ever heard of, the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!"
