This is the top item on a list of Kepler "hits" waiting
to be verified by ground-based telescopes. The list is
roughly 700 "hits" long and we can expect a minimum
of 500 to be confirmed.
There are more hits in the data being teased out,
so we can expect a flood of planets to be slowly confirmed
and dribbled out. Planet-O-Rama!
