My understanding is of all the planets discovered in the "habital zone", there are only one or two they believe meet the criteria of being able to support life.
The exoplanet app rolled over 1000 confirmed exoplanets about a week ago -
now we are closing in on 2000.
Clear skies, Dale.

I saw this on Space.com earlier today. Really cool! Wonder if they expected this level of discovery from Kepler? Bruce _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
