28、onto the roof outside his window to see the wonders of the sky.“What excited me most was whether there were planets（行星）in other solar（太阳的）systems where life might exist,” he says. “I decided to try to find planets orbiting（沿轨道运行）other stars like our Sun.”And he did. “My fellow researcher, Paul Butle

In June 2002 they announced another discovery: a Jupiter-like（像木星一样的）planet orbiting star 55 Cancri.At first, the two researchers found only planets that orbit close to stars.
