Perhaps it’s because when I see “find out more”, “explore our catalogue” and “go directly to listings” related to land masses I expect them to have a list of foreclosures or beachfront properties.

Exoplanets, also known as “extrasolar planets”, are planets outside our solar system, orbiting distant stars. To keep track of this fast-changing field, the Planetary Society presents this list of exoplanets. Here you will find a complete and up-to-date registry of known exoplanets<\/a> and what is known about them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"fomalhaut](\"http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/a\/a3\/Fomalhaut_with_Disk_Ring_and_extrasolar_planet_b.jpg\/800px-Fomalhaut_with_Disk_Ring_and_extrasolar_planet_b.jpg\")
