| Abstract: |
We update our analysis of recent exoplanet data that gives us a partial answer to the question: How does our solar system compare to the other planetary systems in the universe? Exoplanets detected between January and August 2002 strengthen the conclusion that Jupiter is a typical massive planet rather than an outlier. The trends in detected exoplanets do not rule out the hypothesis that our solar system is typical. They support it. |
