There is far more planets out there then they ever thought.
Sorry, but I do not find that surprising.

I am sitting here smiling to myself. Every time I see a thread on planets, stars, and etc., I get a Star Trek menatily. TO GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE. I truely believe there are so many planets and stars that here on earth we are probably so far out numbered by them billions to one. I can picture in my mind that the universe is like the energizer bunny. Just keeps on going, and going, and going. I just see no end in sight for the universe. And why should it end. I actually long to be in space , to be able to see for myself what wonders are out there. Since that wont happen, maybe when it's time to meet my creator, I will be allowed to space hop on the way to my final place. Who knows, maybe the universe is where we all go . We become part of it some how. OK, sorry, I got off into a day dream. But the point is, I cant wait to see what is discovered next!
