The announcement that another 32 planets have been discovered brings the grand total to about 400. The team says they expect to be able to announce another 30 or so in another six months. So far, we still haven't found an "earth" but we're getting close. Six of these new planets are classified as "super-earths" meaning they amount to less than 10x the mass of our planet.
