💨 Abstract

Astronomers have discovered using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network that super-Earth exoplanets are more common across the universe than previously thought. These planets can exist as far from their host star as our gas giants are from the sun. Researchers estimate that for every three stars, there should be at least one super-Earth with a Jupiter-like orbital period, suggesting these massive worlds are prevalent.
