It didn't have to be the case — it could have been that these planets were very, very hot on the dayside and very cold on the nightside, but apparently there are these very strong winds that can move energy around to the cold side, so the nightside on those planets is really quite hot.

This was a surprise, because the gas should have spread evenly around the planet, so Franck Lefevre and François Forget of the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris, France, created a climate model to explain how such concentrations might form.

However, no confirmed planets have so far been found around white dwarfs or black holes.

Basically, its star is a twin of the sun, so that's why it's intriguing, because the star is similar to the sun in terms of its age and its mass, and yet the planets around it are obviously so much different from the planets of our own solar system.

«You build bigger, you go fainter, you go deeper, and you'll have a shot at a major discovery,» explains Pudritz, «So building these larger machines will no doubt allow us to study the birth of the first galaxies and even planet formation around distant stars.

These infant stars eventually spin so fast that any excess gas and dust is flattened into a pancakelike disk around the star, which may eventually yield planets.

They help us drive around, call our friends and power the planet, says Richard Webb, so we need to find alternatives for dwindling supplies — and fast

So does the realization that the habitable zone (the region around a star where a planet could have liquid water, essential for life as we know it) is a lot broader than anyone had thought back in 1960.

Project Blue's proposed telescope would have a light - gathering mirror just half a meter wide — so small that it could only look for Earth - like planets around two stars: the Sun - like Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B, which along with the red dwarf Proxima Centauri form the nearest star system to our own at just over four light - years away.

We would expect this disc to settle around the star's middle, so planets in our solar system ought to orbit in line with the sun's equator.

So for example a planet around a red dwarf, which would get little visible light, might harbor black plants, which would absorb a higher percentage of light than any other color.

It's possible that Earth's magnetosphere was essential for the development of conditions friendly to life, so learning about magnetospheres around other planets and moons is a big step toward determining if life could have evolved there.

If there's gas around and the bodies get large enough, perhaps something on the order of 10 Earth masses or so, then you can start pulling some gas in on top of your rocky core and make something that looks like a gas giant planet, like Jupiter.

That could be crucial to learning much more: Jupiter was likely the first planet to form around the sun, so its inner workings — particularly the nature of its core and how heat trickles out from the planet's abyssal depths — may offer hints about how other planets came to be, both in our solar system and around other stars.

Because Mercury rotates so slowly — once every 58 Earth days, compared to a Mercury year, a complete trip around the Sun, lasting only 88 Earth days — the part of the planet at dawn spends a disproportionately long time in the path of one of the solar system's primary populations of micrometeoroids.

In the geocentric view everything has to revolve around the Earth, but once you adopt the Copernican view it's okay for the universe to have more than one center, so we go around the Sun, the other planets go around the Sun, but these little moons around Jupiter.

And it's a straight line, and it also wraps around the sky from east to west, so if you see a planet, the planet has to be on that line; it can't just be in some arbitrary place.

The planets» rotation is locked, so the worlds keep the same face towards the stars they orbit, much like the Moon does as it moves around the Earth.

The daily image downloads from the Mars rover Opportunity — yes, it's still driving around the Red Planet after more than seven years — and the Saturn orbiter Cassini have been so warmly welcomed that missions with less open policies, such as NASA's current Mercury and Vesta orbiters, let alone the European Space Agency's Venus and Mars orbiters, are often subject to harsh criticism.
