    Undated handout issued by the European Space Agency (ESA) of an artistsÕs impression of how common planets are around the stars in the Milky Way. The planets, their orbits and their host stars are all vastly magnified compared to their real separations. Nearly 100 planets orbiting stars outside our solar system have been discovered by scientists. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Issue date: Thursday February 15, 2018.
