Good evening all,

The famous planet-finding team of Michel Mayor et al has announced the discovery of more extrasolar planets, including some not many times bigger than (that is, more massive than) the Earth.

Interesting article Jonathan. It would be interesting to model the conditions on those three planets...given their sizes and such.
