This is great news as the exoplanet hunter has landed it’s first 5 exoplanets, which was announced on January 4th, 2010, a great way to open up the new year for NASA and extra solar planet freaks like me. While Kepler was launched around the beginning of March, 2009, many would think that it would have discovered many more exoplanets than just 5, 9 months later. The thing about it is that Kepler has over a hundred possible exo planets, there just isn’t enough proof or data yet to confirm these. There will be though and I think that the number of exo planets that Kepler will discover will continue to improve drastically.
