"...we are now entering a new era in exoplanet research: the study of complex planetary systems and not just of individual planets."

That's just seriously awesome.

The five strongest wobble signals were caused by planets with masses similar to Neptune, between 13 and 25 times the mass of the Earth.

No gas giants seem to be present in the HD 10180 star system.

These planets have masses similar to Neptune yet are not gas giants?

Those are pretty large rocky planets.

Well... let’s get over there and find out if there’s a good planet there we might use. We might need another one. No sense keeping all our eggs in one basket.

Okay.
That means that..
our whole solar system...
could be, like...
one tiny atom in the fingernail
of some other giant being.
This is too much
That means...

-one tiny atom in my fingernail could be—
-Could be one little...
tiny universe.

Could l buy some pot from you?
