Allie M on 14 Sep 11I think this is interesting news because we are always questioning the presence of other planets, so the discovering 50 other planets outside of our solar system, including 16 that could be like earth but bigger? Thats huge news. And I wanna hear about the details.

I found this interesting because I love learning about space and the possibility that we found a planet that may support life is very exciting. This has timeliness, because it happened yesterday. This also has importance/impact, because it could lead to the discovery of alien life forms. This also is of unusual nature because this event does not happen every day.
