As today\footnote{6 February 2014, check \href{http://exoplanets.org/}{exoplanets.org} for the most recent figure} 765 confirmed exoplanets and 3466 exoplanet candidates are known. The most remarkable discoveries came only in the last couple of years thanks to the \href{http://kepler.nasa.gov/}{KEPLER} space telescope. This amazing instrument has been patiently looking for the extremely tiny dimming induced by the passage of a planet in front of its host star, and helped to answer two fundamental questions:
\begin{itemize}
\item How common are planets?
\item How common are planets similar to the Earth
(Earth-like exoplanets)? (habitable planets)?
\end{itemize}
