New record in search of exoplanets, NASA confirmed 6000 planets.

The first exoplanet was discovered in 1992. At that time no one thought that in just 30 years, humans would prepare a list of thousands of ‘Alien Worlds’. Scientists say that this journey is not only a victory of science, but also gives a new flight to the imagination of human civilization.

How are these planets discovered?

For centuries, it was just an estimate that the world could be present outside our solar system. But modern space telescopes made this discovery possible. Missions such as Capler and TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) monitored thousands of wires together and detected new planets with a slight decline in their brightness. More than 1,000 new exoplanets have been confirmed in the last three years. This is not only the result of technological progress but also an example of international scientific cooperation.

Peculiar world

These exoplanets discovered have many earth -like shapes and structure, so there are many who are difficult to imagine. Some huge planets are so close to their stars that lava oceans can be found on their surface. At the same time, there is a possibility of clouds made of gems in the sky of some planets. Somewhere there are two -sun planets, somewhere there are temperatures beyond imagination. These discoveries not only thrill but also show what kind of environment can be created for life.

It is still difficult to see the planets

So far only about 100 planets have been seen directly from telescope. The rest is detected by the effect of their stars light or the effect on gravity. Direct observation is difficult because the mild glow of the planet is lost in the bright light of the star. NASA is now preparing telescope that can block the light of the stars, so that small planets like Earth can be seen directly.
