The slides (specially #5/9/11) gives a very good info for people to understand the significance.

  The size and extent of the habitable zone of Kepler-452 
  is nearly the same as that of the sun, but is slightly bigger because 
  Kepler-452 is somewhat older, bigger and brighter. The size of the orbit of 
  Kepler-452b is nearly the same as that of the Earth at 1.05 AU. Kepler-452b 
  orbits its star once every 385 days.

Close to 300K people tuning in!
