The Universe doesn't end with us. There are countless other suns out there many, many, many, just like our own. And orbiting some of those stars are other planets so far over 200 exoplanets have been discovered since 1995! Noted science writer Andrew Bridges draws on the latest findings from powerful telescopes in space and on Earth to describe how astronomers detect planets beyond our solar system, and what they're learning about those exoplanets and the stars they orbit.
