Of the roughly 420 extra-solar planets now known, about a dozen are in the newly named category of "super-earths," planets whose masses are in between of two and about fifteen earth-masses.

Talking about planets a bit closer to home, Mars was particularly spectacular last night.  It's to the left of Orion at the moment and unmistakably bright red.  Next month it will pass through the Beehive cluster.
