      Hi Ellie.Louise.Amber – nice talking to you earlier! When I was really young my brother told me that the world would end in the year 2000 because Nostradamus said so. I was incredibly upset. Obviously, it did not – and since then I realised Nostradamus has made many similar predictions and all wrong!

      I don’t think we’re doomed to Nuclear War at all, but it is always a concern. I think the world would be a much safer place if we sped up the process of getting rid of such destructive weapons. It only takes one mad person to get hold of them…

      Do you mean the work of the Kepler telescope or the man himself? His work is incredibly useful to me, but I don’t think it will ever be popular in that sense! As for the telescope, I think it is pretty popular because it’s often in the news. Unfortunately it’s a little broken now so we’ll be hearing less about it. The great thing is that there are lots of new exoplanet detecting telescopes about to start work!

      Also, just worked out why you like Kepler-22b so much 🙂
