@NicolSD Thanks. It is the first time I worked with the titles. There weren't really any other videos about this so I decided to make one. Major news as far as I'm concerned.

@Michael500ca I find it fascinating that we can spot planets this far away and can even tell how big they are. I kind of understand the science behind it. But it's still damn impressive.

@NicolSD The Kepler telescope is very impressive. To scan over 100,000 systems and pick out such small planets. This is way beyond what was expected. That is 3 major discoveries in the past month. Now we are finding Mars sized worlds. That only leaves planets the size of Mercury or dwarf planet Pluto to be picked up.

@Michael500ca I should have been more precise and said that I understand "the principle" behind the science. But it's still boggles the mind.
