With a single announcement, NASA is nearly doubling the number of known planets outside our solar system. In a pair of papers published today, NASA has revealed the discovery of 715 new and verified planets, bringing the total number of known exoplanets up to 1,700. The planets were found orbiting around 305 different stars, forming multiple-planet systems with constructions much like our own. The planets too bear some resemblance to ours: 95 percent of them are no more than four times larger than Earth

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.
