Dr. Kent Montgomery, director of the Texas A&M University-Commerce Planetarium, discusses exoplanets, any planets that exist outside of our solar system. A recent Irish Times article with astronomer Dr. Niall Smith of the Cork Institute says there may be trillions of exoplanets in the universe. Dr. Smith and his colleagues have developed a method for "detwinkling" starlights, that allows powerful telescopes to see distant stars and any planets that may exist in orbit around them more clearly.
