Galactic Recipe for Exo-Planets

We discover steadily new planets around other stars. Many of these exoplanets orbit their host star much closer than Mercury. The most common type of exoplanets does not exist in the Solar System. These exoplanets have a size between Earth and Neptune and a range of masses that makes it difficult...
