Astronomy: Extrasolar planets
Dimitar D. Sasselov1
Abstract
Hundreds of planets are known to orbit stars other than the Sun, and unprecedented observations of their atmospheres and structures are being made. It's an invaluable opening for understanding the planets' diverse natures, the formation of our Solar System, and the possibility of habitable planets beyond our home.
How many planets outside our Solar System have we found so far?
