Year after year Astronomers are finding more and more extra-solar planets. This time, Space.com reports they have found a system that has 4 rocky planets and a fifth much larger gaseous planet circling around a star about the same size as our Sun. The fifth gaseous planet is far removed from the inner rocky four. What is cool about it is they believe the area between the four inner planets and fifth outer planet to be a likely habitable region where they expect to find rocky planets that may very well be home to large watery oceans.
The universe is getting more exciting every day! I actually am starting to believe we may learn about sentient life outside Earth in my lifetime. Check out this interesting article here.
