Two Transits....Same Star

http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/new...0/10-73AR.html

Announced on the 26 Aug....Kepler 9B and C transit the star Kepler 9. First time they've seen two planets in the same system transit the face of their parent star. Also possibly found a super earth in a really tight orbit about the same star.
