12. 2001 - a hydrogen atmosphere was discovered on the extrasolarplanet Osiris by the Hubble Space Telescope, the first atmosphere detected on an extrasolar planet.
13. "GJ 436t" has a mass five times the size of Earth, which makes it the smallest extrasolarplanet among the roughly 300 identified so far, Ribas said in announcing the discovery.
14. Though over 300 extrasolarplanets have been found using other techniques, this picture likely represents the first direct image of a planet belonging to a star similar to the Sun.
15. Gravitational microlensing is probing a largely uncharted territory of extrasolarplanet discovery, by finding cold rocky planets and extrasolar planetary systems resembling our own.
16. And then you have to convince the whole world that you have actually detected something like this in the atmosphere of an extrasolarplanet host star somewhere in 100 parsec away from here.
17. The first discovery of an extrasolarplanet around a sun-like star was 51 Pegasi B, an exoplanet roughly 50 light-years away, unofficially named Bellerophon after the tamer of the mythical Pegasus.
