... I hate to rain on everyone's parade here but they aren't confirmed, there's just a high likelihood of them being planets. They're so far away that the data is incredibly minimal, nobody can see and confirm them. What they have found are gravity anomalies consistent with planets.
I'm not saying they aren't planets, only that scientists cannot say for sure, only say that to a fair probability these are planets around distant stars.

Boo Chris. Since my parade's been rained on, what am I gonna do with the list of names I started, huh? You want to hear what I got so far?
OK: Ann, Albert, Alvin, um ... Amy, and uh, ... Well, anyway, the list is so long I won't hijack the thread anymore than I have already. There's a lot more.
