I don't know much of the details because I've only recently read about the two. Upon Googling Kepler 22b, the recently announced discovery of a planet that is suspected be able to capable of sustaining life, I found some other things other than the news itself... http://www.science20.com/news_articles/h…
".... Ancient Advanced cultures of the past were aware of cosmic rays emanating from Cygnus, and for their being the spark which ignited evolution - the same spark which continues to alter our DNA right through to the present day. " -

This is a description of a video I found on YouTube, dating back to it's upload date of March, 2011 (production may be longer than that, but I can't be bothered to even watch it).
Kepler 22b also lies in the constellation of Cygnus. May there be perhaps a connection between the two? What are your opinions?
EDIT: Just interesting stuff,
