That tail? That's chunks of the planet boiling off.

We've got a raging nerd love for the Kepler satellite here at Gamma Squad and for excellent reason.

Kepler is finding awesome planets like you find loose change under the couch, and doing it at an incredible rate.

It's nice to see those scalawags over at NASA finally doing something useful with their time; a team running the Kepler observatory recently put down their Shake Weights just long enough to discover the largest collection of planets yet discovered orbiting around a single star.
