You know all about the planets near Earth, but whatabout the planets outside our solar system? As of 2022, NASA has confirmed the existence of over 5000exoplanets, planets that exist outside of our solar system. Exoplanets, the first book for kids ofits kind, is a visually-packed guidebook, in which kids (and grown-ups!) will discoverhundreds of real planets. Through artistic renderings and scientific data aboutdistance, planetary composition, dates of discovery, the likelihood of life andmore, these newly discovered and lesser-known planets come to life. Each pagealso includes a running ruler to measure each planet's distance from Earth. From NASA.gov: The 5,000-plus planets found so far include small, rocky worlds like Earth, gas giants many times larger than Jupiter, and "hot Jupiters"in scorchingly close orbits around their stars. There are "super-Earths," whichare possible rocky worlds bigger than our own, and "mini-Neptunes," smallerversions of our system's Neptune. Add to the mix planets orbiting two stars atonce and planets stubbornly orbiting the collapsed remnants of dead stars. "It's not just a number," said Jessie Christiansen, science lead for the archive and a research scientist with the NASA ExoplanetScience Institute at Caltech in Pasadena. "Each one of them is a new world, abrand-new planet. I get excited about every one because we don't know anythingabout them."
