[narrator] Researchers have been able to
surmise some amazing things about planets just from these light patterns. Scientists think they found a super Earth
with really intense gravity. A planetary system with seven planets
all crammed into the Goldilocks zone. And even a planet that could have
red vegetation, from the different wavelengths
of light it receives. We now know of over 3,500 planets
outside of our solar system. Most of them were discovered
in just the last five years. And tools are only getting better. The next generation of space telescopes
will be able to see more distant galaxies. A newly launched satellite will survey
the entire sky for possible planets, rather than just small sections. And astronomers are developing
new technologies that would let them see
distant planets directly. The line between what is considered
completely crazy and what is mainstream
is constantly shifting

[narrator] Researchers have been able to
surmise some amazing things about planets
00:00:04.042 --> 00:00:05.963
just from these light patterns.
00:00:06.047 --> 00:00:09.008
Scientists think they found a super Earth
with really intense gravity.
00:00:10.593 --> 00:00:14.068
A planetary system with seven planets
all crammed into the Goldilocks zone.
00:00:15.306 --> 00:00:17.892
And even a planet that could have
red vegetation,
00:00:17.975 --> 00:00:20.102
from the different wavelengths
of light it receives.
00:00:21.812 --> 00:00:26.004
We now know of over 3,500 planets
outside of our solar system.
00:00:26.901 --> 00:00:30.112
Most of them were discovered
in just the last five years.
00:00:30.321 --> 00:00:33.407
And tools are only getting better.
00:00:33.491 --> 00:00:38.746
The next generation of space telescopes
will be able to see more distant galaxies.
00:00:38.913 --> 00:00:43.793
A newly launched satellite will survey
the entire sky for possible planets,
00:00:43.876 --> 00:00:45.836
rather than just small sections.
00:00:46.001 --> 00:00:48.923
And astronomers are developing
new technologies
00:00:49.002 --> 00:00:52.134
that would let them see
distant planets directly.
00:00:52.076 --> 00:00:56.389
The line between what is considered
completely crazy
00:00:56.722 --> 00:00:59.809
and what is mainstream
is constantly shifting.
