 Baltimore MD (SPX) May 30, 2019 
While we now know of thousands of exoplanets - planets around other stars - the vast majority of our knowledge is indirect. That is, scientists have not actually taken many pictures of exoplanets, and because of the limits of current technology, we can only see these worlds as points of light. However, the number of exoplanets that have been directly imaged is growing over time. When NASA's Jame ... more |
