Illustration depicting aerial crafts in the process of protecting a crop of giant plants from marauding dinosaur-like creatures. This is an Earth-like world in orbit around at least two stars. Astronomers are finding more and more planets around nearby star. Planets,it seems,are the norm rather than the exception. As our techniques for finding these worlds improve,smaller and smaller planets - beyond the scope of previous technology - are being identified. These small words are important because,by analogy with the planets in our own Solar System,they are likely to be rocky,with a solid surface. It is these planets,rather than gas giants,which are more likely to be conducive to life | |
