NASA to announce new planetary discoveries -- Kepler Mission results.

Hi All,

Just a heads-up that in a few days time on 2 February 2011, NASA will hold a press conference to discuss newly discovered extra-solar planets with the Kepler Mission.

Personal Comment (and no, I'm not in the know): My prediction (ie punt) is that they will announce about 300-odd new extra-solar planet discoveries of which 10-odd will approximately be Earth mass, of which 1 appears to be in or near a habitable zone.


Best,

Les D
