Thanks, Katie, you find very interesting articles! This one is exceptional and I'd suggest that it's really worth the read.
From the article: You can follow the history of planet hunting from science fiction to science fact with NASA's PlanetQuest Historic Timeline at http://planetquest.jpl.nasa.gov/timeline/ .
WOW!!

Send a Green Star to Katie Miller
Sending a Green Star is a simple way to say "Thank you"
You cannot currently send a star to Katie because you have done so within the last week.
Big big Kudos instead!!

Cool discovery. I really hope we'll find some other form of life in the universe in my lifetime. The discovery of faster-than-light (FTL) travel to go check it out would be nice too. Very idle hope I'm afraid. ;)
