My radio gave me more to squee about, this morning:

So -- remember my post, yesterday, squeeing about the discoveries of Exoplanets in the last decade, and how some of those scientists (notably Steve Vogt, et alia) now calculate the chance of a star having a life supporting planet to be in the range of one in a few tens, instead of one in a few millions?

Well, this morning, I woke up to hear this report coming at me through my radio:

Sci-Fi to fact: Planet Hunters find worlds like Earth (text transcript, with a link to the audio -- 4 min 43 sec).

Pay attention, Moffat, et alia: keep up with the quarries alien planets for stories. We wants them. Yes we do, Precious.
