Exploration of Distant Planets

The dream of every astronomer is to discover a new planet. In the past, this happened rarely: one or two per century. But lately, planets are being discovered frequently: on average about three large ones per week, and smaller ones... at a hundred per night! The book tells how searches for large and small planets are conducted in the Solar System and beyond, what techniques are used for this, what helps and what hinders astronomers in this work. It describes how planets are named and what discoveries await us ahead. The appendix provides accurate data on planets, constellations, and the largest telescopes. The book is intended for high school students, teachers, and university students, as well as all astronomy enthusiasts.
