The Discovery Of Four New Planets In Solar System

The discovery of four new planets outside our solar system were also carried out semaraknya welcome the new year 2012. A few days ago, members of the Harvard-Smithsonian astral center for Astrophysics found four new planets known as EXOPLANET increasingly add long list of discoveries of planets outside our solar system.

To four of the Exoplanet HAT-named P-34b, HAT-P-35b, HAT-P-36b and HAT-P-37b which respectively have orbital period 5.5 days, 3.6 days, 1.3 days, and 2.8 days. In view of the orbiting planet could ever conclude that the fourth planet orbits a whole has a very small circle. As you know, every planet has an obligation to orbit the star, respectively. As the earth orbits the sun.

The discovery of four new planets are still not able to indicate the presence of other planets like our earth. Up to questions about the possibility of other living creatures in space still can not be answered. Exoplanet this, most of the gas mass amorous giant that orbits very close to the star, some even closer than the distance to the Sun Mercurius. So can the estimate that the temperature hotter than the Earth until there can be no living creature can live there.

At the end of 2011, there were a total of 716 planets have been confirmed as the exoplanet, and still be a planet 2,326 exoplanet candidates. These planets discovered by orbiting telescopes such as Kepler space, outer space and on Earth observation center, known as network telescopes operated by astronomers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The telescope network, better known as HATNet project, is the first to find exoplanet HAT-P-1b, in 2006 ago.

With the advent of the discovery of four new planets (exoplanet) in hope will increasingly highlight the activities of the astronomers at the earth and increase their passion for working continuously without ending quest to find the possibility of other life outside our planet is aging.
