For the first time since the Earth's atmosphere two fixed

The independent team of scientists reported on Wednesday that for the first time since the Earth's atmosphere discovered two planets outside our solar system. Both studies are opening a new page in the study - revolving around suns other celestial bodies, which are very difficult to detect. Conditions in some of them might be similar to Earth at the time of origin of life.

By mid-January 2009 were found 335 in 285 planetary systems. As the AFP, so far, almost all the known atmospheric been recorded due to the infrared telescope Spitzer, who is a spacecraft. NASA Launched in 2003, Spitzer will soon complete its work. Previously, it was assumed that this will happen in April 2009.

One team of scientists discovered the planet OGLE-TR-56b, many times beyond the size of Earth, the so-called hot Jupiter. Most of the known are Jupiter-like gas giants. They are so close to the star, which revolve around that, scientists believe, have the temperature, so they can commit to the Earth.

"The secret of success (in monitoring ami) - Planet, which emits enough heat in the atmosphere where there is no wind or very weak," - said one of the researchers.

In addition, the Earth must be clear and calm night - such conditions allow to fix the differences between the available quantity of heat when u overshadows star. "Eclipse allows us to find out how much heat the planet and how much allocates star" - explained the scientists.

One team of scientists observed hot Jupiter using two different telescopes in Chile. "Hot to the Red Planet, as burner in the kitchen" - shares his impressions of the head of research in Paris Institute of Astrophysics.

In another study, astronomers from the Netherlands recorded the heat radiation of the planet TrES-3b.
