yeah the one the other day was in the "goldilocks" zone.. i.e. not to cold, not to hot - just about right for life to exist - like the Earth really. These are lower mass, so smaller planets more like our own. Kepler 22b was about 2x the mass of the Earth. Still all interesting stuff, though some of this all seems oddly premature - gone are the days of vigorous follow up before it hits the press.
