SHAREThere are more than 5,000 exoplanets discovered out there. That’s because planets don’t emit light, and astronomers had been relying a lot on the transit method. Either way, astronomers made some huge progress when it comes to finding exoplanets. While it certainly cannot be a bad thing that astronomers keep looking for exoplanets, maybe it could be even better if they focus more on those remote worlds that they’ve already discovered. The exoplanets that have already been discovered fall along a range of masses, sizes, as well as orbital positions.
