In the system that British scholars find, two planets in the size of Jupiter and Saturn are turning in the orbit of a star half the size of our Sun.
Martin Dominik of St Andrews University of England, who explored the discovery, said that the discovered system could have more in common with the Solar System than they thought, and that astronomers were on the brink of discovering other solar systems.
Indicating that planets like Earth could be found in the planet system they discovered and others like this, Dominik noted that it is now a matter of time to explore such planets.
Dominik, "We have two planets in our system that assume the roles of Jupiter and Saturn in our Solar System. They have an orbital distance and orbit period with almost the same mass as Jupiter and Saturn. This system appears to be similar to our Solar System. From this point of view, our solar system does not seem to be like the Universe. There must be other systems with planets similar to the Earth, "he said.
Martin Dominik made these statements! at the National Astronomy Meetings of the Royal Astronomical Foundation in Northern Ireland's capital Belfast. (Internethaber)
