The wall street journal is reporting new information on kepler planets which have recently 'been discovered'.

Kepler-20e - four-fifths the size of Earth
Kepler-20f - almost exactly the size of Earth

The planets orbit closer to their sun then mercury does to our sun and it is suggested that conventional, carbon-based life wouldn't be supported.

Does anyone really think if they find an earth like planet, the details will be released? I honestly don't feel NASA is a transparent organization, but this discovery of planets of the same size of Earth orbiting suns pretty much confirms the existence of earth like planets.
