Welcome to the companion blog of Exoplanetology, The Art and Science of New Worlds.
The rate at which we are discovering new exoplanets is soaring at an exponential rate. Just a few years ago, it was mere speculation that other planets may be orbiting other stars. Now it is a scientific fact that there are innumerable worlds out there. Now we are at the threshold of finding earth-like planets, and close to discovering whether we are alone in the universe or not.
This blog seeks to track how the growing knowledge of new worlds impact the human culture and future.
