NASA has announced that the number of approved exopleans has exceeded 6,000. This is a historic moment for astronomers.
Twelve years ago, Switzeral Scholars Michelle Major and Didier Kelo discovered the first "hot Jupiter" - 51 Pegasi B.
This gas giant, which is half small in Jupiter, turns around her mother star in just 4.2 days. For comparison, scientists say Mercury, which is a very hot planet in 88 days around the Sun. According to NASA, the approved exoplabilities are gradually registered, and their calculation preserves the Scientific Institute of Artagalactic Planets (Pasadena, California). At the moment, another 8,000 candidates are waiting for approval.
