Exoplanets: Pulsar Planets and Super Earths Beyond Our Solar System

Exploring exoplanets opens up a realm of possibilities for understanding the vastness of the cosmos. With over 4,000 confirmed exoplanets discovered to date, each new finding offers a glimpse into the incredible diversity of worlds that exist beyond our solar system.

These exoplanets vary in size, composition, and orbital characteristics, ranging from rocky planets similar to Earth to gas giants many times the size of Jupiter. Some orbit their stars at a distance where liquid water, and potentially life, could exist—a key factor in the search for habitable worlds. By studying the atmospheres and compositions of exoplanets, scientists aim to uncover clues about their formation, evolution, and potential for hosting life. The ongoing discovery and study of exoplanets continue to reshape our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
