Kosmo | What Was Discovered Beyond the Solar System?

Our galaxy counts around 200 bln stars and not less than a trillion exoplanets. Each of these celestial bodies is unique and has its own peculiar properties.

Among the stars of the Milky Way there are some supergiants capable of swallowing up entire stellar systems and also there are absolutely tiny ones barely glimmering among the boundless abyss of space.

Some of them are solitary while others make pairs or even form complex systems made up of several various objects. Following the immutable laws of gravity, new glittering stellar clusters and majestic associations form in the Milky Way among dark nebulae and bubbles of red-hot hydrogen.

If we consider an area of space within the radius of 50 light years from our Sun, we will observe around 2,000 stars here. We looked at some of the most notable ones before, such as the fast-going Barnard’s star, the mysterious Proxima Centauri, the shining Sirius and the diverse multiple Castor star system.

And so it means that today it’s high time to set out much much further out there...
