Canada's first space telescope, the Microvariability and Oscillation of Stars (MOST) Instrument, will be used to detect exoplanets. It has been nicknamed The Humble Space Telescope.

First target: 51 Pegasi A. I'm still skeptical at the concept of a planet-sized object doing a full orbit in 4.2 days.
