Many more “earth-like” planets in the Milky Way.  WOW.. I say.  A perception changer just thinking about this. Star Trek here we come.  I wonder if the candy bar will feel different when eating it?

Seems the news is out a bit early and  so far neither Kepler nor NASA researchers have confirmed that they are “Earth-like,” or even actual planets. They are planet candidates.
