have been discovered since 1993. That is, planets outside our solar system that are orbiting other stars.
The next-generation James Webb Space Telescope - the replacement for the aging Hubble Space Telescope - is scheduled for launch in 2013 and will have the ability to image these objects and perform spectroscopic studies of their atmospheres.
What a great time for science.
