The first exoplanet was discovered nine years later in 1992 and the numbers of known planets beyond our solar system have been growing rapidly ever since.įor more discoveries and stories of exploration, visit the Exoplanets Exploration Timeline. Then a team in 1983 spotted a disc around Beta Pictoris believed to be made up of the raw materials of planet formation-the first evidence of an exoplanet. Significant Eventsīefore 1983, the only confirmed planets were those in our own solar system, though scientists believed many planets were in orbit around distant stars. As will the now inactive Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft. NASA’s New Horizons, which flew past Pluto in 2015 and is currently exploring the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune, will eventually leave our solar system. Both spacecraft, launched in 1977, are still in contact with NASA’s Deep Space Network. Voyager 1 transitioned into interstellar space in 2012. Levay (STScI)įive robotic spacecraft have sufficient velocity to escape the bounds of our solar system and travel into interstellar space, but only one-NASA’s Voyager 1-has crossed that boundary so far. Each sight line stretches several light-years to nearby stars. The telescope's goal is to help astronomers map interstellar structure along each spacecraft's star-bound route. Hubble is gazing at two sight lines (the twin cone-shaped features) along each spacecraft's path. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this illustration oriented along the ecliptic plane, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope looks along the paths of NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft as they journey through the solar system and into interstellar space. ![]()
