It took abnormally look considering helium is the 2nd most abundant element in the universe.
It will have time to find just a couple more candidate exoplanets.
Three of the newly-discovered planets are so-called super-Earths.
Space exploration made easy.
This odd world hundreds of light-years away could teach us about how planets in our solar system formed.
