50 New Planets Found, One Only Maybe Derelict

Wyoming - European astronomers discovered 50 new planets in our solar system. Of that total, 16 of whom allegedly planet-sized planet.

The biggest planet is found to be named as the planet HD 85512 b, measuring 3.6 times the mass of earth can be reached within 36 light years and is in the constellation Vela. The findings also stated that nearly half of luminous stars like our sun and a few more shining than the Saturn.

The Earth-like planets, scientists believe there are traces of water in there, which allows no life there.

The findings were presented in A planet on Extreme Solar Systems conference in Wyoming, USA. The conference was attended by about 350 experts from around the world.

These new planets discovered by a mission of The High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS), which is installed at the European Southern Observatory at La Silla Observatory, Chile.

'Detection of HD 85 512 b away from the boundary HARPS, and suggests the possibility of finding Earth's super (super-Earth) who allows life to exist around stars like the sun, "said University of Geneva astronomer Michel Mayor.

One team member, Lisa Kaltenegger, of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy and the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said the findings mark a new era of the past life of the planet search. "We are entering an extraordinary achievement in the history of astronomy," he said.

Found, 10 New Planets in Milky Way

Wellington: Ten new planets "floating" through the galaxies found in an international team of astronomers led by New Zealand scientists. Tenth Jupiter-sized planet that is a new discovery in the history of the Milky Way. The invention uses software developed by computer scientists Massey University, Wellington, Australia.

"They are giant planets in our galaxy, about the size of Jupiter. It turned out that this submarine is the tenth planet somewhere in between us and the stars," said Ian Bond, an Astro Physics, recently. The planets were believed to be located about two-thirds of the center of the galaxy, located about 25,000 light-years.

If they are visible to the naked eye, the planets would be pitch black, because they do not emit light. This new planet could be removed from the solar system since the meeting of gravity close to other planets or stars. Most likely the new planets grow from collapsing ball of gas and dust, but do not have the mass to ignite the fuel and produce starlight alone.

These findings led the researchers beraharap free floating planetary-sized Earth could support life. Although until now the possibility was small, such planet yet detected.
