		<description><![CDATA[In the early hours of Saturday morning (UK time) NASA successfully launched the Kepler spacecraft into orbit. It was pretty late here but no matter how tired I got staying up I knew watching a live launch, and the tension laced build-up, is always worth it. Kepler is going to search for Earth sized worlds [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=willgater.com&#038;blog=2757830&#038;post=1363&#038;subd=willgater&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written up a new post about today&#8217;s NAM announcement of the discovery of an embryonic exoplanet. The first paragraph is below: &#8220;Astronomers here in Belfast have just announced that they have discovered what they believe to be the youngest ever planet observed. So young that it may have not completely formed yet. They used [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=willgater.com&#038;blog=2757830&#038;post=115&#038;subd=willgater&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the results that has just been released from the National Astronomy Meeting is that the SuperWASP exoplanet hunting project has discovered an incredible 10 new exoplanets. SuperWASP is an ingenious project which uses eight sensitive CCDs on eight wide field telescopes to monitor a huge number of stars in the night sky.

		<description><![CDATA[Here is the latest release from the ESA/Hubble office that I have been working on. Hubble astronomers have used the orbiting space observatory to study the atmosphere of the extrasolar planet HD189733b (a number I can&#8217;t seem to get out of my head having written it so many times over the past few weeks).
