Kepler is producing results...

Here's to one of the coolest stories of our lifetimes...

NASA has so far formally announced only five new exoplanets -- planets outside our solar system -- but early data analysis indicates up to 140 of the 700 identified bodies are earth-like. That is, they are solid masses containing both land and water which could allow simple lifeforms to develop.

It's the first trickle of what could end up being a really awesome waterfall of awesome.
