What properties they will display is anyone's guess. But we have already discovered more then 5000...some Earth like, some super earths, some gaseous giants, some far bigger then Jupiter, and at various distances from their host star. The thing is I believe, is the technology to be able to decipher the atmospheres of these planets is improving all the time, and plus the technology to be actually able to detect the reflected light from these planets. Will we finally discover another "pale blue dot" ? That would be incredible and hopefully before I kick the bucket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
