Astronomers have discovered nearly 6,000 planets beyond our own solar system. Here's how — and how we'll find even more.

"It feels like something out of science fiction," said European Southern Observatory astrophysicist Julia Victoria Seidel.

Gaia, a mission designed to map stars, has accidentally become a planet hunter. Using precise astrometry, it detected stellar ...
