Don't get overexcited... confirming a transiting terrestrial planet takes time, and Kepler hasn't been active for a long time. Guess they have found some transiting hot Jupiters, maybe even hot Neptunes. I was very excited before the first COROT press conference, and what they revealed was the discovery of a single hot Jupiter!
