I'm curious as to what is next, now that Kepler is dead what do we do to substantiate this data further?
My impression is that there is not much more we can do to confirm outside of the statistical models giving us probabilities, it would take some much more advanced detection tech (or traveling there) to get further, which means we might be stuck at this point for a little while.

- gchokov 13y agoI guess pointing even more antennas to a star which is detected to have earth-like size and location (SETI like programs). With even larger telescopes - checking the light spectrum of the planet reflected light for chemical check of the planet (reflected light spectrum can show what the source is made from, to some extent).
