    This is huge (by virtue of the fact that the worlds found aren't). http://www.space.com/13990-2-earth-size-alien-planets-kepler-smallest-worlds.html These worlds won't sustain life as we'd be able to identify it, but it brings us a lot closer to being able to find worlds that could. (And -- in the interest of keeping things on-topic -- if we find Equestria out there, I swear, I am buying a surplus Russian space suit and Soyuz craft, and developing an FTL drive using three million agitated 2-liter bottles of Sprite.)

      @astra I like how they keep saying "It can't support life," then another team says "We found signs of life in a place that can't support life."
