    New Exo Planet
    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 then, thank you for sharing :). 2 interesting exoplanets are Gliese 581 d, which could be habitable, and HD 189733 b, which is the first planet discovered to have organic molecules in the atmosphere (methane).

    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.
