Had a great video conference given by Edna DeVore from the Kepler Science Team about the Kepler Mission that is searching for other habitable planets! There are a few Citizen Science projects that are going on and you can help to look for transiting planets. Proposals are due in February and is for Scientists and avid amateur astronomers. The Kepler mission recently found the first rocky planet, Kepler 10-B, and in February all the Kepler data will be released publicly. There were some great images many available on their website.
