The first true pictures of an Exoplanet were taken around the massive star of HR8799. The Exoplanet had to be analyzed closer so they went an observatory in Hawaii to see if they could prove that it in fact was a planet that they were looking at. When they looked at it from every angle they could think of they reallized that it was in fact a planet that they had found orbiting around the sun. The planet is about ten time's the size of Jupiter whifch is why they were able to find the planet in the first place and once they did it allowed them to find hundreds of more Exoplanets in the area and by today we have already formed a list of about five hundred Exoplanets.
- The article is clearly a discovery science because it was completely made out of observations and there is no possible physical test we could do in the present time to be able to Physically test weather a planet is an Exoplanet or not.
- The research of Exoplanets is the finding of planets that like earth have an orbit around the sun. Now this does not mean like earth in every way but only in gravitational pull and in the extremely far future when our son dies out or a catastrophe strike the option to leaved to another planet can be narrowed down by this simple but important research.
