NASA's Kepler Telescope Discovers 5 New Planets
Monday, January 4, 2010 at 2:59PM Five exoplanets (planets beyond our solar system) have just been discovered by NASA's Kepler telescope. Launched in March of last year, the Kepler telescope is set up for discovering Earth-sized planets. The five exoplanets discovered, range from Neptune sized, to the size of Jupiter. The estimated temperature of all the planets found is too great to yield any forms of life that are currently known by science. Too bad. We were really hoping to find out about our new alien overlords early on in 2010. I guess we'll all have to wait just a little longer.
