Rocky planets not much larger than Earth are very
common in the habitable zones around stars red weak. The international
team believes that there must be tens of billions of such planets in our
galaxy, the Milky Way, and probably about one hundred in the vicinity of the
Solar System. This is the first time directly measured the frequency of
super-Earths around red dwarfs, which account for 80% of the stars of the Milky
Way. An international team just to make this the first direct estimate of the number
of light planets around red dwarf stars. To do this, have used
observations made with the HARPS spectrograph installed at the 3.6-meter
telescope at ESO (La Silla Observatory in Chile).
