Where Are The Metal Worlds And Is The Answer Blowing In The WindLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 22, 2012 The torrent of discoveries that has come out of the exo-planet research community lately has brought up more new questions than it has answered. Some of the more interesting ones have to deal with solar system formation. Up until the discovery of the first exo- planet in 1988, scientists had a sample size of one system to use in the development their models of how planets form around a star. Today they have a sample size of 726. One hundred and fifty of those samples were used in a study on planet ... read more |
