Default 32 New Planets Found
Though not in our solar system

Source: 32 New Planets Found Outside Our Solar System
Quote:
The 32 newfound exoplanets include several super-Earths, such as two planets no more than five times Earth's mass and two about six times Earth's mass, the Observatory of Geneva's Udry said.



The largest newly discovered exoplanet is a monster at seven to eight times Jupiter's mass, he estimated.



In addition, several Jupiter-mass planets were found around stars that don't have many metals.



Previous theories had stated that planets wouldn't tend to form around metal-poor stars, since planets are thought to take shape inside the metal-filled disks of debris left over from stellar birth.



The new finds suggest that astronomers might need to revise theories of planet formation—and may increase the number of possible star systems in the universe.

I think if there was any life they'd stay the hell away from us- the planet that first of all spawned "2 girls 1 cup" and "1 Man 1 jar" and then charges people to watch them and there are people who pay...

wouldn't any new life have to be pancake shaped? 7 to 8 times the mass of Jupiter is a lot of gravity.

It would also have to find a way of living on a gas giant...



We can't really detect life on these planets. The main method of detecting them is IIRC to look at the dimming of the star when the planet passes in front of it - this doesn't reveal much about the surface.

Not necessarily. In my mind, nothing we humans say is 100% right, maybe everything we have found out can be proven wrong. I know it sounds stupid, but hey, you never know.

Life on that planet could have been their for far longer then the earth. I'm pretty sure that life there has adapted to the extreme gravity.
