New exoplanets from Kepler

I definitely plan to have a future show on this (yes, I still plan on doing those. One day. Hopefully soon. When I get a chance. Sorry) but, until then, read this article about five!! new extra-solar planets discovered already by Kepler. These are not the Earth-sized planets in Earth-like orbits that Kepler was designed to discover (those, by definition, orbit their star once a year so Kepler hasn't been in space long enough to detect those - yet) but still very interesting. Enjoy!
