#OTD one year ago, we passed 5,000 confirmed exoplanets. It was a milestone decades in the making. When we add sound for each new planet, you can hear the pace of discovery as worlds appear across our galaxy. https://go.nasa.gov/3Jz67Y0

Happy that the first exoplanet discovered accidentally by Dale Frail and Aleksander Wolszczan in 1992 is included. They were not even mentioned when other #astronomers were awarded the Nobel prize for the discovery of exoplanets. And yet the discovery ended up showing exoplanets can show up in strange places.
