Number of Known Planets Takes A Giant Leap | Video

On Feb. 26th, 2014, NASA announced that it has added 715 new planets to the roster of known exoplanets. Kepler Space Telescope data was used in the discovery. Four of the new planets reside in the habitable zone of its host star.

This, and with the recent growing acceptance of star water, most of those "habitable" planets are most likely already inhabited.

2 more years of Kepler data to work through. Wish Carl Sagan was alive to see this...I can just hear him saying "billions and billions..."!!

I don't know if NASA or any other company has does this, But how about they send a signal or something to these planets in the Goldilocks zone?

those planets just too far to we reach, we here just wondering is there anyone look back like they look a star in their sky and say "hey, look.. that star is really beautiful" and that our sun. or if they same grade civilization like ours on earth, they build some telescop or something, pointing at us and announce to their people that our star system have a planet that orbit on the goldilocks zone. and they can't do anything to us because our planet to far away to reach.
