Melbourne's ASTRONOMY CENTRAL

Planets around other Stars

In the last few years, several new planets have been discovered -- but not in our solar system. Instead they have been found orbiting distant stars within our own Milky Way galaxy, and are commonly called Extra-solar planets.

The most advanced pages are marked with [A], and graphically intensive pages with [G] .
