Well, the results are not as spectacular as I had hoped -- a star with a couple of hot Saturns and an unconfirmed third planet about 1.5 times the size of Earth.  And all more than 2000 light years away.  Oh, well, I guess I’m getting spoiled -- once, news of any exoplanet would have thrilled and amazed me!  But I'm sure this is just a foretaste of the wonders Kepler has in store for us.
