Why are they making such a big deal of this recent exoplanet discovery?

I mean I'm not trying to be an asshole, but it just isn't all that exciting.

I know man those artist renderings are fucking RIDICULOUS.

It literally says "NASA TELESCOPE REVEALS" and there are NO PICS. In that article. No fuzzy blurry shit, no data or any shit to look at that's 'real'.

Thing is, this whole "exoplanet discovery" is making me feel like they're going to use this as an excuse to start some new kind of exploration. Almost like these planets will be what one of the next major space missions revolves around. And I'm suspicious. As usual.
