(25 Apr) New study: There are lots of icy super-Earths
“Microlensing” lets us find planets at much greater distances from their star.

Protoplanetary disks from #ALMA.
Though we have learned much about #exoplanets, there is still much we do not know about the steps of planet formation and the precise cosmic recipes that spawn the wide array of planetary bodies we have already uncovered.
Astronomers have conducted one of the deepest surveys ever of #protoplanetary disks, the planet-forming dust belts around young #stars.
The disks are as diverse as are the forming planetary systems.

Astronomers find Earth-like #exoplanets common across the cosmos
New study debunks a single planet-formation scenario
Using the Korea #Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet), an international team of researchers has discovered that super-Earth exoplanets are more common across the universe than previously thought.

EurekAlert!Astronomers find Earth-like exoplanets common across the cosmosUsing the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet), an international team of researchers has discovered that super-Earth exoplanets are more common across the universe than previously thought, according to a new study.
Name: Kepler-1550 b
A Neptune-like giant planet.
Distance from Earth: 3,845 light-years
Year discovered: 2016
Discovered by: Kepler
Planet radius: 3.02 x Earth
Orbital period: 225.58 day(s)
"This result suggests that in Jupiter-like orbits, most planetary systems may not mirror our solar system," said co-author Youn Kil Jung of the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, which operates the KMTNet."
I'm thinking big ol' Jupiter might hold the key as to why the inner Solar System is the way it is and why it's different from most other systems we know of so far.

Just a small reminder as your read press releases about DMS, K2-18b and how "we have found a planet teaming with life". Dont beleive the hype - Chuck D

Planetas, planetas por todas partes! 
Gráfico del nº acumulado de exoplanetas confirmados (NASA Exoplanet Archive). #TimeseriesWeek #Astronomy
La curva muestra la explosión de descubrimientos desde los 90, ¡especialmente con Kepler & TESS! Ya superamos los miles de mundos conocidos. 
*(Aclaración: El último punto de 2025 es el acumulado hasta hoy, 22 de Abril, no el año completo).*
Impresionante cómo avanza la ciencia que estudia los planetas de otras estrellas.
