Five New Planets Found; Hotter Than Molten Lava
The recently launched new NASA space telescope has spotted it's first new planets - so-called 'hot Jupiters', their mass similar to that of Jupiter but bigger than any neighbouring us.
To date, there have been found 400+ exoplanets, most of which are these super-hot 'Jupiters'. Of the new five, 'Kepler 7b' is said to have the density of styrofoam.
The discovery of earth-like planets is reported by ever hopeful astronomers to be 'coming soon'.
