Is there life beyond the solar system? Three exoplanets co-discovered by scientists in the MIT Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Science are raising new hopes of finding out.

#space #science #exoplanets #astronomy #MIT
Just 40 light years from Earth, planets are best targets so far for search for extraterrestrial life.

MIT is a world-class educational institution where teaching and research — with relevance to the practical world as a guiding principle — continue to be its primary purpose.

MIT is independent, coeducational, and privately endowed. Its five schools and one college encompass numerous academic departments, divisions and degree-granting programs, as well as interdisciplinary centers, laboratories and programs whose work cuts across traditional departmental boundaries.
