WHO'S BEEN EATING MY PORRIDGE?

NASA confirms a Goldilocks-zone planet around a G-type star. Blimey. Kepler-22b is the first confirmed planet in the right kind of place, though its composition isn't known yet. I'd like to think it marks another decisive shift away from irrational, parochial, we're-the-centre-of-everything thinking. Great news, anyhow.
