Just read at http://solarstory.net/ about Kepler, launched in 2009, which is still trailing. This telescope examines the brightening and dimming of the stars in other systems. So far, as of this year, the Kepler telescope has discovered 4,302 objects in other systems, the planets in other solar systems. These discoveries might provide scientists with more chances to fint another Earth-type planet and, who knows, maybe even discover intelligent life on it!
