I’m here for the winter meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS), which started last night with a kick-off event. In my posts on AAS, I will report on some of the talks I’ve attended. Most of them will be on exoplanets, since this is the field I am beginning research in.

Today the discovery of the first definitely rocky exoplanet — as well as the smallest planet discovered to date — was announced. The Kepler 10b press release was made this morning by Dr. Natalie Batalha at the American Astronomical Society (AAS) meeting in Seattle.
