NASA is holding a press conference on exoplanets on Wednesday:

NASA will hold a news conference at 1 p.m. EST Wednesday, Feb. 22, to present new findings on planets that orbit stars other than our sun, known as exoplanets. The event will air live on NASA Television and the agency's website. Details of these findings are embargoed by the journal Nature until 1 p.m.

    I'm really hoping for life outside earth, but i bet it's just "Hey, there's some matter we've found, which kinda, maybe, possibly, combined with 15 other parameters, which we haven't found, could create life on this planet, which we think exists based on a shadow on the light coming from a distant star. How exciting!"

    On would think they wouldn't need a press conference for those types of "news"... we get enough of those through the regular channels without an ahead of time conference announcement and embargo...

    Here's to hoping they found Jebus's shag pad!
