Yeah it makes me excited because it's a reminder that we're in the frontier days, just starting to explore what's out there, and only currently focusing our telescopes on the most obvious likely planets, those with a steady and repeating orbit, which means they are short duration like this. Over time we'll broaden our search more and likely find many planets that are smaller and longer orbits, more earth like. So much exploring ahead!
