NASA's Kepler spacecraft has discovered two Saturn-sized planets transiting the same sun-like star. The same system might contain a third world--a hot "super-Earth" one and a half times the size of Earth--but this is not yet confirmed. Researchers announced the results today at a NASA press conference.
