Found, 32 New Planets Outside Solar System

The European astronomy experts found 32 new planets outside the solar system. The discovery strengthens the evidence of the theory that the universe is the universe actually has a lot of places that can build a life.

Using telescopes from the European Southern Observatory, the researchers reveal that Earth-sized planet they found is not equal to the earth. They figured if the planets were habitable. However, the results of this study add to the number of planets found outside our solar system, ie by more than 400 pieces.

Six of the new planets have been discovered are several times larger than Earth, which is believed to contain habitat for more than 30 percent of the capacity of the Earth. Most of the planets found there the same size of the planet Jupiter.

While two of the new planets found to have a size five times smaller than the earth, other than that there are five times bigger than Jupiter.

Astronomer Stephane Udry of Geneva University said that the findings support the theory that planet formation is generally the same, especially with a view of star formations.

"I am quite sure that many Earth-like planets," Udry said in a conference in Portugal. "Nature does not have a vacuum. If there is space, then there is a planet," continued Udry.

The astronomers also noted that about 40 percent of stars like the Sun has a planet whose size is closer to Earth than Jupiter. The mass of Jupiter is 300 times greater than Earth's mass.
