Smallest Exo-Planet Discovered to Date by Kepler

[Channel Hopper]

About the size of the moon, at a distance of over 200 light years. Kepler 37B

Though this isn't the smallest predicted, and almost certainly not the one with the best observer point, planet PSR B1257+12, revolves round a neutron star with at least three other planets some 980 light years away.

Truly incredible the gravity on these pulsars when they are spinning at such incredible speeds. Wouldnt it be great to observe one close up to the see the effect.
