An international team of planet hunters have found the closest thing yet to a solar system similar to our own out in space; a Jupiter-like planet orbiting its parent star in a Jupiter-like orbit.
RESEARCHERS WITH the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) in New South Wales, Australia detected a large planet orbiting HD 70642, a sun-like star situated 90 light-years from Earth out toward the Puppis constellation. The planetary find was announced Thursday in Paris at the ?Extrasolar Planets: Today and Tomorrow? conference.
