There Are Many Solar systems

There are too many planetary systems in the Milky Way & other galaxies. Nicholas of Cusa (d. 1464) was one of those ancient men thinking that stars, like our sun, were having inhabited worlds. This was akin to the Bible's, which in Hebrews 11:3 says: "...the worlds were framed...", where each of these worlds is but the inhabited space-time. Many worlds were framed. The idea of Nicholas was taught too, by mouth & pen, by Giordano Bruno, who was condemned by the Catholics, Calvinists, and Aristotelians because it's against their beliefs and on February 17, 1600 Bruno was burned alive at a stake in Rome. Nontheless, the first biblical teacher to suggest that there were inhabitants on stars was prophet king (c.1012-972 BC) David. Apostle Jude (1:13) was advance in saying "kymata agria thalasses epaphrizonta tas eautōn aischynas asteres planetai ois ho zophos tou skotous eis ton aiōna tetērētai," which means "waves raging sea, foaming out their own shame; star-planets, to whom the blackness of darkness for ages is reserved." He had made mention of "asteres planetai", literally, "wandering stars", giving us an idea that planets are originated from or originally were stars, as what we can understand too from the star Beta Pictoris in the primary picture. By using special filter to blot out the star's image, astronomers have spotted a disc of rings around the Beta Pictoris. As what can be seen in the picture, B-Pictoris is violently erupting, extending 1.5 up to 2 times longer than the diameter of the star itself. Echo rings or disc are formed around a star after a supernova, nova, or blotting explosion. As early as 1943, Peter Van de Kamp of Sproul Observatory had detected planets on other stars. He had discovered a nonluminous body (8 Jupiters in mass) orbiting on the star 61 Cygni. Astronomers in 1988 have discovered a planet (1.5 Jupiter in mass) orbiting every 3 years on star 36 Ursae Majoris A. A planet only 10 ten times heavier than Earth was detected orbiting every 6 months on star PSR 1829-10.On April 12, 1996 it was announced that the star 55 rho 1 Cancri A of G8V type and 43.7 light-years away has five planets. The 49.9 light-yearss remote G3 IV-V type star mu Ara (HD160691) has 4 planets; while the 15 light-years distant Gliese 876 and 42 light-years distant star HD40307 have each 3 planets. Michel Mayor & Didier Queloz of Geneva Observatory explained in a conference in Florence, Italy, that the Sun-like (G2-3V type) star 51 Pegasi, which is 42 light-years away is altering in velocity by some 70 meters per second every 4.2 days, suggestively due to orbital motion caused by a Mercurian-distant & half-jovian mass planet lies inly 7 million kilometers from the 51 Pegasi. In 1996 G. Marcy and P. Butler announced that a 9-jovian mass planet is revolving the G5V-star-type 70 Vir in an eccentric, elongated orbit every 116 days and they theorized that its temperature (ca.85 degrees Celsius) is permittable for water & organic chenical formation. A two-Earth-sized olanet is detected orbiting every 16.9 years around the pulsar PKS B0329+54; while a Moon-sized, 2-EArth-sized, and 3-Earth-sized planets are orbiting on the pulsar PSR1257+12. In 2000, two Saturn-sized planets were discovered. A Neptune-sized planet is detected revolving every 5.4 days on star G1581. Suggestively, some planetary systems were formed from stellar systems, when the latter's companion stars exploded, turning into planets, moons, & remnants. Jovian planets are most possibly black dwarfs originally brown dwarf stars. As stellar systems exist in other galaxies, it's expected that other planetary systems form too contemporaneously. With these, we can deduce that planets of various sizes are naturally created on stars, and supernova, nova, blotting explosion, or stellar giant eruption may give birth to them. A fascinating thing is that many planets of other stars are located in the inhabitable region of the planetary system, suggesting that if there are earth-sized planets in those planetary habitable regions, then there is a possibility that organisms (even human beings) exist too in other worlds. If true, then the report of the Bible about "worlds" is proven true.
