I mean, it can't be just us.

But they're hard to see.

They're tiny.

They're dark.

I mean, compared to a star, right?

I mean, planets don't glow themselves, right?

So they just reflect starlight.

I mean, we literally said it was like trying to see a firefly around a searchlight from 200 miles away, right?

How would you do it?

And, I mean, now we're actually getting so good at it, we find more every week, almost every day.

I mean, pretty soon it's going to be, I think, thousands of new planets every single year.

Do we have actual images?

So, for the most part, we don't have images, but that doesn't mean we don't have really cool observations, including the chemistry of their atmospheres.

This is really amazing to me.

So they're so tiny, it's hard to actually get a pixel.

They're smaller than a pixel.

But when these things pass in front of their star, right?

So there's a star, and they pass in front of it.

So you're looking at this thing pass in front of the star.

It makes a tiny little solar eclipse.
