- nhebb 12y agoIt looks like you're right. After posting my question I clicked through to the GPI site (http://www.planetimager.org http://www.planetimager.org), which says the project is imaging and characterizing exoplanets. And, in case anyone else is curious, an exoplanet is a planet outside our solar system.
- dang 12y agoWe changed the title to say "exoplanet" instead of "alien planet".
