Discover 32 new exoplanets
From the observatory at La Silla, Chile
In the past 15 years have discovered about 350 bodies similar
An international group of researchers has discovered 32 new exoplanets (bodies outside the limits of the solar system) from the La Silla Observatory in northern Chile, which will help to better understand the Solar System and the Universe.
This was announced today Michel Mayor, Geneva Observatory (Switzerland) and member of this team, located in Madrid, invited by the Ramon Areces Foundation and the Royal Academy of Sciences.
Mayor, discoverer in 1995 of the first posed located around another star like the Sun, has detailed the last fifteen years have found 350 other similar bodies, which have revealed an amazing diversity of exoplanets.
The discovery of 32 new exoplanets has been made possible by measurements made by the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS planets or search for High Accuracy Radial velocity), installed on the 3.6m telescope of ESO ( European Organisation for Astronomical Research) at La Silla.

Cosmology - Are we alone in the universe?
Horizon brings us back a very interesting documentary about the possibility of life on other worlds, and the first goal is to discover exoplanets, that day, hundreds have been found, but many of them, without any possibility of life, but In this documentary shows us the possible discovery of a large planet that can support life, which was recently discovered less than a year, it is the G581c exoplanet, where favorable conditions of life cooks, which is in the middle line with its sun, and is called the line, habitable zone, because our solar system has got it all, inner planets, are subjected to high temperatures and unlikely life and the outside line, cold planets are also unlikely to support life.
Astrobiology [The universe]
Is there life on other planets? Astrobiology is a speculative science that seeks new life in space through a combination of scientific disciplines of astronomy, biology and geology. How has life on Earth? How is life on other planets? A diverse group of scientists will answer these and other relevant questions. Viewers will visit the Pilbara region in Western Australia, where they have discovered the oldest evidence of life on Earth. Will also travel to the moons of Jupiter and Saturn to test the theory that life could exist in clouds of Venus. Finally, observe how they perform experiments to see if life exists on exoplanets, or extrasolar planets, Earth-like planets found beyond our solar system.
