I read in the newspaper, that we have a new planet. Could you tell me more about this? That is if you heard this.

An exoplanet is a planet outside of our solar system, so I don't know what you mean by "we".

Can you clarify?

I'm talking about "we" as our solar system.

I don't understand your topic, because an exoplanet is, by definition, not a part of our solar system.

Well go to washingtonpost.com/science. That will explain it.

We discover new exoplanets all the time, about 70 last year. I don't know what you want to know...

Sorry, I always have a hard time describe what I want to say. I just want to tell you about the article I found.

Well then, thank you for sharing :). 2 interesting exoplanets are Gliese 581 d (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_581_d), which could be habitable, and HD 189733 b (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_189733_b), which is the first planet discovered to have organic molecules in the atmosphere (methane).

Did you find the Washington post information?

did you find the washington post information?

The interview discussing exoplanets?

Sure! I just wanted to know what you thought?

I sure hope not, I've got an 1895 book on Astronomy, and shows 8 Planets. Only recently it had been found to be accurate.
