Members of the CFA, which has played a major role in the search for exoplanets, heralded the discovery as momentous. “This discovery can be compared to what happened 400 years ago with Galileo’s discovery of Jupiter??s moons,” said Dimitar Sasselov, a professor of astronomy. “It is amazing that it happened on the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s discovery.” At the Center, many scientists are heavily involved with exoplanet research. Harvard astrophysicists have developed...

The widely-publicized HAT-P-1, identified last week by scientists from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), is the largest planet ever detected. But researchers at the same center have also found another so-called “hot Jupiter??—a significant discovery in its own right. Both breakthroughs came with the aid of small amateur telescopes. The smaller and less-publicized of the pair. TrES-2, is still 30 percent larger in size and mass than Jupiter. Assistant Professor of Astronomy David Charbonneau designed...
