The discovery of this planet, called an exoplanet, is based on more than eight months of data collected by the spacecraft from May 2009 to early January 2010.

Nearly 200,000 people have signed our "Debate, not hate" petition. It
calls on politicians and the media to stop spreading hateful rhetoric
and implicit appeals to violence. Can you sign the petition today?
