The researchers from the other universities helped us by confirming the existence of ET-1. Without them, we couldn’t be sure that what we saw was a planet.

A major problem with spectrographs is that they collect only a small percentage of photons from the target light source, which means that they are only useful to search for distant planets when mounted on...

With our method, over the next 10 years it could increase the number of new planets discovered to 10,000 or more.

Discovery of new planets will help to understand how the solar system formed and evolved to current status and also how life forms in the solar system and universe.

This research allows us to know how [planets] form and how they evolve. It makes us better understand our universe.

This is one of the youngest stars ever identified with a planetary companion.
