‘NASA's planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft has confirmed the discovery of its first alien world in its host star's habitable zone — that just-right range of distances that could allow liquid water to exist — and found more than 1,000 new explanet candidates, researchers announced today (Dec. 5).’

‘The newfound 1,094 planet candidates are the fruit of Kepler's labors during its first 16 months of science work, from May 2009 to September 2010. And they won't be the last of the prolific instrument's discoveries.’

My guess is that all planets are spheres, but apart from that no two are alike.

Recently when the results of a deep space probe came back w/ pics from what was thought to be a blank portion of space it was shown to be full of countless galaxies as far as the space craft’s telescope could see. NASA’s understatement about this was that the Universe was allot bigger than they thought. Duh!!! I sooooo cracked up.

Just wait till they get the proper composition of the crust and atmosphere ETC. That will give us a much better picture of it!
