Nasa needs to limit it's use of the word "major".
The first exoplanet discovered, yeah that's a major announcement. The first earth like exoplanet discovered, also a major announcement.
More earth like exoplanets discovered? Not "major". We already knew there were a ton of them out there.
That said, hopefully this leads to a major announcement once JWST come on line. The fact that they think they're probably tidally locked to their star is also sort of disappointing.
