Human beings have discovered over five thousand five hundred exoplanets. Recent observations from TESS found exoplanet with an orbit of 82 days and another measured in hundreds of days.
Astronomers have concluded an observation of Proxima Centauri b and found that the planet does not transit its star
TRAPPIST-1 has held our attention because it has so many rocky worlds orbiting a star that may allow some of them to have liquid water
This planet was discovered by Trans-Atlantic Exoplanet Survey & became the first planet observed by the Kepler with designation Kepler-1b.
Most exoplanets discovered without actually see the planet at all & astronomers are working on starshades to resolve planets directly!
The next big milestone for exoplanets is a telescope that can see beyond beyond the frontiers of our knowledge: The Roman Space Telescope
TRAPPIST-1 c receives a similar amount of radiation from its host star as Venus gets from the Sun. So the question, is this planet habitable?
Astronomers estimate there are more free roaming planets in our galaxy than planets in orbit around stars. Trillions worlds wandering alone
How common are habitable planets? Where’s the life? How common are planets that could potentially support life?
