OLD ELVET, England, April 29 (TNSres) -- Durham University issued the following news:
In a new study, our pioneering scientists think they have solved a mystery about exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) that are getting closer and closer to the stars they orbit around.
These planets, called 'hot Jupiters', are massive and gaseous, similar to Jupiter but orbit extremely close to their stars, taking just a few days to go all the way around.
