[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 164134, member: 175144"] Bennett, another Planet researcher, added that there will be more small planets to come. Microlensing has so far detected three exoplanets -- two giants and OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb -- and "higher-mass planets are more easy to discover," he said. So if scientists have already found a small one, "these must be substantially more common." Hmmm, not really a scientific conclusion. 28000 light years away to confirm an object a mere 15,000 miles in diameter, quite some feat. [/QUOTE]
