What Is an Exoplanet?

Exoplanets – planets outside our solar system – are everywhere. But why do we study them? What makes them so interesting? At NASA, we're surveying and studying exoplanets to learn all about their weirdness, their variety, and all the fascinating things they can tell us about how planets form and develop.

I'm so eager for NASA and others to discover life forms on another planet or any part of the universe. I'm pretty sure if there's any, they're also eager to discover it their own way. Perhaps, they also don't know that Earth exists.

Hearing the word Exoplanet kinda brings chills down to my spine ;-;
