Mike,
I don't have a link to it but it was in the paper here and on the news page of my home page some time back and there is a probe that was launched several years ago toward one of the closer areas they thought may have Earth like planets in it. I will see if I can find it , but I remember the pictures of the scientists standing around cheering and saying they thought they may locate 1 Earth type but 2 was beyond anything they had hoped for. And as I said, they will have to wait for some time until that probe is in a location that they can verify their first data.
