CNN.com - Sci-Tech - Space - 11 new planets discovered; one in 'life zone' - April 5, 2001

It's stories like this that gets the sci-fi nut in me wishing we could just jump in the Enterprise, kick it up to warp factor 7, and check these planets out. I do think that we've got plenty of problems here on Earth to deal with first before we return our serious gaze to the stars, but I can dream, can't I? :)
