Scientists have announced the discovery of 32 new extrasolar planets that exist around distant stars beyond our own Solar System, a find suggesting that low-mass planets are abdundant in our galaxy.
Astronomers have announced a haul of planets found beyond our Solar System. The 32 "exoplanets" ranged in size from five times the mass of Earth to 5-10 times the mass of Jupiter, the researchers said.

Now we just have to figure out a way to get there. When we figure out how to get there I want a ticket on the first bus heading in that direction. This planet is out of control!

Now we just have to figure out a way to get there. I'm sure if we find a planet that would support us, a solution would follow suit. Or if down the road the hypotheses of terraforming becomes a reality, Mars would be the likely candidate to expand.
