Scientists have already discovered more than 5,000 exoplanets outside the solar system

Astronomers in 1988 PSR 1257 + 12 called pulsarın next to the first exoplanet found. The exoplanet in question From the solar system was the first exoplanet to be discovered outside. Four years after its discovery, the exoplanet was confirmed to exist. Scientists are now searching for other planets in distant star systems. A few days ago NASAto the archive of exoplanets 5000The exoplanet was included. The total number of found exoplanets 5005 pieces contane. According to NASA, each discovered exoplanet has its own unique characteristics. “It’s not just one. Each of them is a new world and is a new planet. I am happy with each of them. However, we know virtually nothing about them, “said a NASA expert.

Alexander Wolszczan and Next Frail The mass of one of the first two exoplanets discovered outside the solar system by astronomers named Of the Earth from the masses 4.3 timeswhile the mass of the other 3.9 times became larger. The third exoplanet in the new mass of the Earth was discovered in 1994. The first exoplanets discovered as a result Poltergeist, Fobetor and Drauqr got their names. Already in those years, scientists understood that, our galaxy is rich in such planets. Later, scientists began to use a new method to search for exoplanets. Conversation, from the transit method goes.

This is the essence of this method that, any exoplanet has its own star snowA slight darkening of the star is observed when passing through the glass. Thanks to this slight darkening, scientists are able to identify the exoplanet itself. In the field of search for exoplanets Kepler telescope had made a great contribution. 20Thanks to this telescope, which was put into operation in 09, scientists 3000have discovered more than an exoplanet. Scientists have not been able to find conclusive evidence for the existence of any species of exoplanets. However, work continues in this area as well. It was sent into space some time ago James Webb The telescope could potentially shed light on this issue as well.
