A decade of extrasolar planets around normal stars : proceedings of the Space Telescope Science Institute symposium, held in Baltimore, Maryland, May 2-5, 2005 /
Humans have long thought that planetary systems similar to our own should exist around stars other than the Sun, yet the search for planets outside our Solar System has had a dismal history of discoveries that could not be confirmed.
