NASA set to make major exoplanet announcement

All data about the announcement embargoed until 1 PM Eastern on Wednesday. The only hint:

CNET said that it had seen the research in an article published Monday, adding that “while we can’t share details yet, let’s just say it could very easily provide us with new settings for many future works of science fiction.”

Let’s just hope it’s better than some other recent NASA announcements that turned out to be busts… arsenic life forms, anyone?
