I think Kepler has downloaded about 5 months of
observations.

... so we'll know more tomorrow.
"WASHINGTON -- NASA will hold a media briefing
on Thursday, Aug. 6, at 2 p.m. EDT, to discuss
early science results of the Kepler mission.
Kepler is the first spacecraft with the ability to find
Earth-size planets orbiting stars like our sun in a
zone where liquid water could exist."
Where does the press release talk about Oct 7th,
2009?
Yes, it could be today (Wed 6th), tomorrow (Thu 7th),
or next year when [Oct 6th] falls on a Thursday...
Gaaa....
