The narrator elaborates on how scientists use advanced telescopes and space probes to discover these planets and analyze their characteristics. The episode starts with a journey through space, showcasing various planets, asteroids, and comets.

Another fascinating exoplanet showcased is HD 189733 b. This planet is similar in size and mass to Jupiter but orbits very close to its star, making it extremely hot and inhospitable. The planet is known for its blue color, which is due to the reflection of light from its atmosphere.
