Dr. Shane Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Space Telescope Spots New Planet Quote: The French-led Corot mission has spied its first planet - a very hot world bigger than Jupiter - passing in front of a far-off star. The spacecraft was launched on 27 December last year and is the first to hunt for Earth-like planets from space. Corot scientists said to find a planet so early on "significantly exceeded pre-launch expectations". The new body is called Corot-exo-1b and can be found 1,500 light-years away in the constellation of Monoceros. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...
