The Seven Wonders of Exoplanets Ep4 Why are exoplanets so diverse

Non lo sappiamo con certezza, e vogliamo scoprirlo nei prossimi anni. Pensiamo sia dovuto a come si formano e alla loro storia. Per esempio, abbiamo scoperto molti “Giovi caldi” che orbitano molto vicino alla loro stella, ma si sono formati lontano e poi sono migrati successivamente. We don't know for sure, and we want to find out in the coming years. We think it's due to how they form and their history. For example, we have discovered many "hot Jupiters" that orbit very close to their star, but formed far away and then migrated later.
