The study suggests that we should start investigating worlds larger than the Earth whose atmospheres are dominated by hydrogen
This ferocious heat vaporizes metals present in the planet
"These technologies are very important, especially for big data sets and especially in the exoplanet field"
They orbit a star just 73 light-years away
This is the largest set of discoveries ever made, increasing the number of distant objects with well-known paths around the sun by 50%
A trip through some of humanity's most spectacular galactic glimpses
