August 24, 2010–Richard C. Hoagland commented on the new exoplanet solar system discovery (see article below). He noted that one of the planets orbits around its sun in just 1.8 days, and that we are beginning to see the diversity of conditions in which solar systems form. A NASA conference on new discoveries from the Kepler space telescope is scheduled for Thursday, he added.
