daily neWs… Milky Way teaMing With 'billions' of planets: study The Milky Way is home to far more planets than previously thought, boosting the odds that at least one of them may harbour life, according to a study released Wednesday. Not long ago, astronomers counted the number of "exoplanets" detected outside our own solar system in the teens, then in the hundreds. Today the tally stands at just over 700. But the new study, published in Nature, provides evidence that there are more planets than stars in our own stellar neighbourhood. "We used to think that Earth might be unique in our galaxy," said Daniel Kubas, a professor at Institute of Astrophysics in Paris, and co-leader of the study. "Now it seems that there are literally billions of planets with masses similar to Earth orbiting stars in the Milky Way." Two methods have dominated the hunt over the last two decades for exoplanets too distant and feint to perceive directly. One measures the effect of a planet's gravitational pull on its host star, while the other detects a slight dimming of the star as the orbiting planet passes in front of it. Both of these techniques are better at finding planets that are massive in size, close to their stars, or both, leaving large "blind spots". An international team of astronomers led by Kubas and colleague Arnaud Cassan used a different method called gravitational microlensing, which looks at how the combined gravitational fields of a host star and the planet itself act like a lens, magnifying the light of another star in the background. If the star that acts as a lens has a planet, the orbiting sphere will appear to slightly brighten the background star. One advantage of microlensing compared to other methods is that it can detect smaller planets closer in size to our own, and further from their hot-burning stars.
