Soon, we may be finding earth size extra-solar planets. One thing that amazes me is the way they can ascertain the atmospheres of planets they cannot see using spectroscopy. For more details on the current state of extra-solar affairs, see the ExoPlanet website.
For NASA's scorecared, see their site PlanetQuest. Finally, to help find ET, donate extra computer time to U.C. Berkeley's SETI@Home!
