You can download a widget for your desktop if you're interested in keeping track: http://planetquest.jpl.nasa.gov/widget.cfm but that doesn't include today's finds yet. I found today's info out by another means

some are 5 to 10 size larger than us and some the same size figures larger than Jupiter - must be a long walk to the shops

I like those links
Last year I spent a lot of time seeing the NASA picture of the day and pictures from the Hubble.
In the second link if you go to Home and leave the mouse on Overview, there appear some pitures, two of them are 
Thanks GB

Thank you, Mar 
They are beautiful. I wonder if we will have another space telescope in the future? Hubble has definitely given us some great views

Three have been deemed brown dwarfs so the total planet count is now 403

I was just saying that to my daughter when she collected her son. Not the same words, but how close we are to finding Earth's twin. Then some  will go off! The news will probably knock Jordan's sexlife off the front pages of some newspapers

the way i see it, there are three ways of believing about extra terrestrial life - or lack thereoff  :
1. the conditions for life as we know it are so rare we will only find it in one place in the universe we know: our 
2. there are so many galaxies, stars and planets in the known universe it is absurd to believe there is only one  like ours somewhere out there
3. who says intelligent life out there is anything like we know 
ps: 4. er, how intelligent is life on this here actually
