Kepler’s pile of possibles has yielded hundreds of verifieds, with another potential 2000 or so to go. And nice pic of a habitable moon!

Kepler looked at one tiny postage stamp of sky and only looked for transiting planets. Pretty amazing what it found. I was playing with the NASA Eyes on exoplanets program today and noticed that a large number of the planets found were multiple planets.
