NASA RELEASE : 10-197 - 8/26/10 (ARE we alone?)

 
 
NASA's Kepler Mission Discovers Two Planets Transiting Same Star
 
 
WASHINGTON -- NASA's Kepler spacecraft has discovered the first confirmed planetary system with more than one planet crossing in front of, or transiting, the same star.

The transit signatures of two distinct planets were seen in the data for the sun-like star designated Kepler-9. The planets were named Kepler-9b and 9c. The discovery incorporates seven months of observations of more than 156,000 stars as part of an ongoing search for Earth-sized planets outside our solar system. The findings will be published in Thursday's issue of the journal Science.
(Read full story at NASA's Kepler site.)
