Summary:
"Astronomers long looked in vain for evidence of worlds orbiting
other
stars, but recent technological advances have enabled such
discoveries
to occur regularly. Several teams continuously work on the planet search using a variety of techniques and equipment; as a result, we know of 161 planetary candidates in 135
star
systems
, from 8.25 to 9,000 light-years from Earth." "This
catalog
of all the known
extrasolar
planets
describes each planet in as much detail as is available with graphs indicating how the planet orbits its primary. Details in the primary are given. Additionally, the boundaries of the habitability zone around each
star
are plotted, and information about the likelihood of terrestrial
planets
existing in each system is provided."--BOOK JACKET.
