Summary edit

Description
English: The size of Kepler's first five planet discoveries as compared with Jupiter and Earth in our own solar system. NASA's Kepler space telescope has discovered its first five new exoplanets, or planets beyond our solar system. Kepler's high sensitivity to both small and large planets enabled the discovery of the exoplanets, named Kepler 4b, 5b, 6b, 7b and 8b. The discoveries were announced Monday, Jan. 4, by the members of the Kepler science team during a news briefing at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Washington.
