MIT scientists are designing a satellite-based observatory that they say could for the first time provide a sensitive survey of the entire sky to search for planets outside the solar system that appear to cross in front of bright stars. The system could rapidly discover hundreds of planets similar to the Earth. Because of the huge amount of data that will be generated by the satellite, Google has an interest in working on the development of ways of sifting through that data. (source: web.mit.edu)
