... plane and that are close to being circular. As already mentioned, the first exoplanet discovered around a Sun-like star was Jupiter-like, but orbiting extremely close to its parent star. Many of these close-in exoplanets, known as ‘hot’ Jupiters, have since been discovered. Additionally, many exopla ...

Corvus (constellation)



Corvus is a small constellation in the Southern Celestial Hemisphere. Its name comes from the Latin word ""raven"" or ""crow"". It includes only 11 stars with brighter than 4.02 magnitudes. One of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. The four brightest stars, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, and Beta Corvi from a distinctive quadrilateral in the night sky. The young star Eta Corvi has been found to have two debris disks.
