I don't know why this one is so special as there have been over 300 already found, it might just be that they are announcing it because its been
found recently and will be part of the 'Exoplanets & Their Host Stars' presentation that day...
Who knows but it could be something more significant.
I will look for this one as i am off on Monday too. It would be awesome if they finally found a planet that would definitely support life. Not that
we would be traveling there. I am still not sure we will ever see another planet but it would still be a nice find.
