DISCOVERY OF EXOPLANETS

DISCOVERY OF EXOPLANETS Only 2-3 decades after the discovery of the first exoplanet, the number of these small dark bodies detected by humans raises to four thousand. Found by various methods, radial velocity, transit, gravitational microlensing, direct imaging, etc., we are now able to know their masses, sizes, orbital parameters and the period of the revolution. May they have the necessary conditions for the development of life? What is the habitable zone?   MIMOZA  HAFIZI Astrophysicist at the University of Tirana, author of the novel Pika trëndafil.
