Ah. Don't forget planets! They've come to the conclusion that there is at least one planet for every star you see and I suspect that will be greatly increased because that number is arrived at by looking at how many planets Kepler has seen as compared to the stars it monitors and it can only see large planets.
That means the Milky Way Galaxy (ours) has at least 400 million planets.
I'm picturing green slime aliens ooooozing along the surface of at least one of them.
