The number of planets detected around other stars - or exoplanets - is set to hit the 4,000 mark.
The huge haul is a sign of the explosion of findings from searches with telescopes on the ground and in space over the last 25 years.
It's also an indication of just how common planets are - with most stars in the Milky Way hosting at least one world in orbit around them.
That's something astronomers couldn't be certain of just 30 years ago
4000 and we haven't even started yet
aliens are real
Aliens when
Hopefully we can zoom in on planets with telescopes soon and the aliens are giving the finger to us
I just hope when we do find aliens we can fuck them. That is man's true purpose. That is why we covet the stars so much.
It's pretty much a certainty that they are real just from the fact that life exists on Earth, if it can start on Earth, then it can start somewhere else.
The real question is how common life in the universe is and in what kinds of planets it can start on.
Without a doubt, there's probably life all over the milky way galaxy. The only thing that probably would be rare is if it were Sentient life.
Flipping us off 5000+ years in the past
Yeah, thats pretty much a given, the question is where, and how advanced.
Climate Change will fuck us long before we get to fuck aliens, so you can put that dream to rest buddy
To put man's dick where it has never gone before
Bullshit, that's just pessimism
One small thrust for man, but a giant orgy for mankind.
I think both will happen, but we will be dying of starvation while your favourite president Donald Trump is asking a blue alien smurf to piss on him
My great, great grandkids deserve the chance to fuck an alien.
We're leaving the EU so we can start the Great British Space Empire.
Gonna get colonial on some ewoks

Wouldn't fucking an alien species technically be zoophilia?
xenophilia.
Distances are too long to find and be found. And at the same time 13.8 billions of years is almost nothing compared with our estimation of how long the universe will live, so there are still a fuckton of planets to be born. Funny spot we are in.
I guess I'm the only one who wants to see the landscapes and biomes of distant planets before finding sapient aliens?
