Space Sunday

I know my layout is still a little off. I wasn't gonna write this post because I can't stand looking at my blog right now, but I don't know how to fix it and it will probably be a couple more days until I get it right, and I just couldn't pass up sharing my favorite space pic and news of the week: The discovery of Kepler-22b, a planet in a habitable zone.

Kepler-22b is about 2.4 times the radius of Earth, and resides 600 light years away in the constellation Cygnus. It has an orbit of 290 days around a Sun-like star. Read more here on NASA's website.

I am SO excited about this discovery.

And might I also mention that seeing "NASA/Ames/JPL-Caltech" as the image credit for many of the NASA pics I use really makes me wanna go to Caltech and work at JPL.
