Astronomers plumbing Kepler data have found five more rocky planets only slightly larger than Earth. They're also beginning to talk about a new class of world-- "mini-Neptunes" similar in composition to Neptune, but only perhaps four times as massive as Earth.
No doubt many more classes of exoplanets will be defined in the years ahead.
