So these things are about twice the size of the Earth.
We don't have anything like that in the solar system.
So we don't know what it is.
Is it a big rock?
Is it like a super-Earth, a mega-Earth?
Or is it a scaled-down version of Neptune?
Is it like an ocean world maybe of some kind?
And turns out that planet is the most common type of planet in the universe, as far as we can tell.
And we don't have one.
Wow.
So that's kind of weird, right?
I mean, it seems like there's so many aspects of our solar system that are unusual.
Even having a Jupiter, only 10% of stars have a Jupiter, as far as we can tell.
10% of how many stars that have been observed?
Oh, at this point, I mean, we've observed hundreds of thousands of stars.
And we know about 6,000 exoplanets.
So of that population, you correct for the sassists, correct for the ones you've missed.
Even so, I mean, these Jupiter's the easiest ones to find, right?
They're the big boys.
They're easy.
