Earth-Size Planets Found Beyond Solar System Says NASA
Earth-size planets orbiting a sun-like star outside our solar system have been discovered by NASA's Kepler mission. According to the space agency, the planets, called Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f, are too close to their star to be in the so-called habitable zone where liquid water could exist on a planet's surface, but they are the smallest exoplanets ever confirmed around a star like our sun.

NASA says the discovery marks an important milestone in the ultimate search for planets like Earth. The new planets are thought to be rocky. Kepler-20e is slightly smaller than Venus, measuring 0.87 times the radius of Earth. Kepler-20f is slightly larger than Earth, measuring 1.03 times its radius. Both planets reside in a five-planet system called Kepler-20, approximately 1,000 light-years away in the constellation Lyra.

Breaking News: North Korea Says Kim Jong-il Dead
North Korea's state-run television has announced that Kim Jong-il is dead. According to the announcement, Mr. Kim died at the age of 69 while on a train trip somewhere outside the North Korean capital of Pyongyang.

Two versions of Mr. Kim's death have been offered by the official news agency. At first it was said he died of mental and physical over-work. However, later the agency claimed it was a heart attack.

Unsurprisingly, both South Korea and Japan have heightened their military readiness, according to reports.

RQ-170 Drone Shot Down Claims Iran
There are unconfirmed published reports that say Iran claims to have shot down a very advanced stealthy US drone called the RQ-170 Sentinel.

The incident allegedly took place along the eastern border of Iran. The claim was made by an unnamed military official quoted by the IRNA, the country's official news agency. The precise date of the incident is unclear from the statements and reporting so far.

"An advanced RQ-170 unmanned American spy plane was shot down by Iran's armed forces. It suffered minor damage and is now in possession of Iran's armed forces," is the quote attributed to the official in the published account.

AeroSpaceNews.com has been unable to confirm any aspect of these claims other than to verify that other legitimate news outlets have indeed published the claims appearing in IRNA.

If an RQ-170 drone has indeed been shot down by Iran, it will be a serious blow to the unmanned aircraft's perceived survivability and low observable technologies. If the system was lost in operations near Iran it is also possible that there were other operational problems encountered.

[UPDATED]

While UPI is also reporting the drone as the RQ-170, a BBC report says it was an RQ-10 UAV the Iranian Government claims was shot down.
