Planet Hunters

There aren't many things on TV that make me sit up and go, in an awed voice, "Wow." 
Not anymore. 
But last week's show on the CBC series The Nature of Things did it.
It was called "Planet Hunters" and is about what scientists and astronomers are discovering in outer space with the Kepler telescope. 
It blew my frigging mind. 

There is water out there. There are probably planets like earth, capable of sustaining life. They think it's only a matter of months before they find them.

I've always thought it only made sense that there would be other life forms in a universe that is seemingly endless, and said that one thing I'd like to see before I die is that discovery.

It looks like my wish is coming true.
