      <![CDATA[Gee, you guys are easily convinced. All I see are dots. I will be convinced only when I can see dinosaurs on them. And what has that got to do with disproving geocentrism. That biblical order has everything going around the earth. So how does a few new dots out there disprove what we see every day/

      <![CDATA[Stars, like our own, develope planets by accretion. Scientists believe this is happening around billions of stars much the same way it happened around our own with heavier iron core planets closer to the star and gas giants further out. This means the odds of planets like our own developing in habitable zones (orbits neither too close nor too far) where life can flourish are vast. Get ready for more surprises!

I understand that there's some sort of documentary coming out before too long about how we're building a starship. The pictures of that look pretty awesome too. Maybe we can go visit one of those planets.

I believe @8's comment falls into the category of what is generally known as "sarcasm".<br />
<br />
In any case, direct visual evidence of extra-solar planetary systems is still mighty impressive, considering all we've accumulated to-date has been indirect, based on gravitational lensing and offsetting "wobbles" and such.

But "those scientists" don't just pull numbers out of the air - that's what makes them scientists. If you weren't so intellectually lazy, you could obtain the the scientific journals which detail those "numbers", but I suspect you'd much rather go to a Palin 2012 rally instead.
