... Planets . ... Stars . Exoplanets . ... Most exoplanets so far discovered fall into the category of тАШhot JupitersтАЩ, these are giant planets orbiting very close to their parent star. ... Note that we have discovered so many hot Jupiters because they are the easiest type of planet to find, they are not necessarily particularly common in the galaxy. ... Subsequently several similar hot and€а fuzzy worlds have been discovered the same way, proving this that this planet is not a one-off oddball. ...

Discover the cosmos! ... 2002 June 14 . 55 Cancri: Familiar Planet Discovered . ... The discovery of a Jupiter -like planet in a Jupiter-like orbit around nearby Sun -like star 55 Cancri , announced yesterday, gives a new indication that planetary systems similar to our Solar System likely exist elsewhere. The planet, discovered by G. Marcy ( UC Berkeley ) and collaborators, is one of two new planets found around 55 Cancri -- in 1997 a Jupiter-massed planet was found orbiting very close in. ...

... The 50 so-called exo-planets were discovered using a telescope that is found in South America. ... By looking at a star s wobble, astronomers can work out how many exo-planets are in orbit around it and how heavy they are. After studying all of the planets discovered with this telescope so far, astronomers have found that nearly half of stars that are similar to the Sun have at least one planet that is lighter than Saturn. ... But there are many, many more waiting to be found! ...

Astronomers Detect Coolest Radio Star . ... The new radio-star is much smaller and colder than our Sun.€а With a surface temperature not much higher than that of a giant planet, and a size comparable to JupiterтАЩs, it is scarcely visible in optical light.€а Yet the radio flares seen at Arecibo show it must have a strong magnetic field, implying that the same could be true of other similar stars. ...

Another problem is to study the conditions and boundaries of stable, regular motions of small mass planet in systems having `Jupiter' with large orbital eccentricity as well as properties of regular, stable, and irregular, chaotic motions. ... The regular eccentricity evolution described above demonstrates that stable quasi--circular orbits of small planet are unusual. ...

In ancient times the solar system was thought to be the whole Universe, so the study of planetary motions was cosmology. ... The planets other than the Moon and Sun generally move West to East through the stars, but occasionally stop and move in the opposite direction ( retrograde motion). In order to explain the retrograde motion of the planets, the geocentric model of the Solar System shown above puts the planets on small circles called epicycles . ...

Shumaker's-Levy's comet. In July 1992 the comet went in 15 thousand km near Jupiter. ... The comet was turning not around the Sun, but around Jupiter with a two-year period. During the next approaching to Jupiter in 1994 all the fragments cut into the planet’s atmosphere with the 65km/sec speed and generated the powerful disturbance of the cloudy surface. The falling was predicted by the astronomers and was observed from the Earth and from the Space. ...
