Planets

Its beginning to look as if planetary systems are commonplace but some
are 
very weird systems with gas giants in odd orbits. At least one system
with 
gas giants in Sol-type orbits has been found and a Mars sized planet has

been discovered so small rocky planets so exist out there. Mostly the 
technology cannot detect anything much smaller than Saturn. Apparently,
its 
getting better though.
