    Just 8 short years ago, astronomers began discovering new planets light years away from us circling around distant suns. They found giant planets larger than Jupiter in orbits very different from the gas giants in our own solar system. They found planets that rained iron down from the skies, planets too old to even theoretically exist. And they wondered - is our solar system, structured the way it is, a rarity out there?

This may be the discovery that someday fuels the migration of Earthlings out among the stars on their way to those New Blue Worlds...
