Scientists have allegedly discovered four new planets that are outside of our solar system, trillions of miles away. According to The Dallas Morning News, "None of the four giant gaseous planets are remotely habitable, or like Earth. But they raise the possibility of others more hospitable."
CNN states that, "According to the the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopedia, there have been 322 planets found outside our solar system. The latest findings bring that total to 326."
The Dallas Morning News also reveals that despite the photographic evidence of the recent discovery (See Picture Above), some scientists are skeptical that the formations are in fact planets. "Alan Boss, an exoplanet expert at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and Harvard exoplanet hunter Lisa Kaltenegger both said more study is needed to confirm these photos are proven planets and not just brown dwarf stars."
