- Ms. Bubbleson, what is an exoplanet?
- What a great question! To the flying bus!
- Let's go see our astronaut friends in outer space. Let's hop in.
- Fieeeelllld trriiiiiiip!
- Space is endless. Exoplanets are Earth-like planets outside our solar system. Each one orbits a star like Earth orbits our Sun.
- Wow! So cool!
- There is more than one habitable planets in the universe!
- Wasn't that a good feild-trip? Class dissmissed!
- When was the first exoplanet discovered?
- How many are there?
- Why don't we hop in my space ship and we'll go find out?
- There are more than 4,000 confirmed exoplanets!
- The first was discovered in 1995 in France. It's called 51 Pegasi B, or Dimidium.
- But it's believed over a trillion exist!
- There are 4 types of exoplanets but the Earth Analog is similar to Earth in size, composition, and distance to their home star.
- Exoplanets are made of the same elements as planet Earth and just as diverse.
- How are they different?
- What a great question!
- Neptune-like exoplanets are large and gaseous. Hot Jupiters have high surface temperatures.Super Earths are bigger than Earth. They're made of rock and/or ice.
- Did you know that the closest exoplanet to us is called Epsilon Eridani? It's 10.5 lightyears away!
- Wow! So we might not be alone after all!
- You three might be right. Maybe we are not alone.
- Back to the bus!
