cheaply couple hundred instrument last next perhaps quickly search shows soon stars success thousand
In the last two decades, astronomers have searched about 3,000 stars for new planets. Our success with this new instrument shows that we will soon be able to search stars much more quickly and cheaply -- perhaps as many as a couple of hundred thousand stars in the next two decades.
discovered increase next number planets
With our method, over the next 10 years it could increase the number of new planets discovered to 10,000 or more.
hope next search stars thousands
We hope to search hundreds of thousands of stars in the next decade, for about 10,000 planets.
