Today's Bullshit- Kepler 22-B

Not actual photograph. A figment of somebody's imagination at NASA-



...Kepler uses the "transit method" to detect new planets, MSN said: it monitors stars' brightness and searches for minute dips in light levels when a planet crosses in front of the star.

The $600-million observatory has detected 2,326 planets since it began operating in May 2009. Scientists will extrapolate its findings to estimate how many stars have potentially habitable planets orbiting them, Reuters said.

Its astronomers are currently preparing a bid for more funding to extend their mission, which is due to end in November 2012. Mystery solved.

Still not an actual photograph-
