  "For me it's special because I used this to discover the farthest planet that has ever been discovered," said Kailash Sahu, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute who used Hubble to observe exoplanets 26,000 light-years away.

  Dubbed Ultra-Short-Period Planets (USPPs), these worlds whirl around their stars in less than one Earth day. "Discovering the very short-period planets was a big surprise," said team leader Kailash Sahu of the Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore.
  ...
  "Ultra-Short-Period Planets seem to occur preferentially around normal red dwarf stars that are smaller and cooler than our sun," Sahu explained.

  But Livio and team leader Kailash Sahu said the chances are good that some, or even all, of the 16 will ultimately meet all the criteria to be called planets.
  ...
  "Our discovery . . . gives very strong evidence that planets are as abundant in other parts of the galaxy as they are in our solar neighborhood," Sahu said.One of the biggest surprises of their work, Sahu said, was that five of the likely planets orbit so close to their suns that they make it around in less than one Earth day.
  
  These close-in, Jupiter-size planets are not necessarily the most prevalent, he said, but rather are the ones most easily identified using the techniques available for peering deep into the galaxy.

  But Livio and team leader Kailash Sahu said the chances are good that some, or even all, of the 16 will ultimately meet all the criteria to be called planets.
  
  Based on the number of planets identified and the number of stars in the Milky Way, the scientists estimated that as many as 6 billion Jupiter-size planets exist in the galaxy.

  One planet orbits its star, a so-called dwarf slightly smaller than the Sun, in only 10 hours, "the likes of which we had never seen before," Kailash Sahu of the Space Telescope Science Institute, leader of the team that did the work, said, calling the results "a big surprise."
  
  By comparison, Mercury, swiftest in the our solar system, races around the Sun once every 88 days.
  
  The new planets, all roughly the size of Jupiter, orbit so near their stars that they are heated to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit, said Dr. Sahu, who noted that if their home stars were any bigger, the planets would simply evaporate. potential planets are found in increasing numbers, Dr. Boss said, the odds increase that planets and planetary systems like Earth's would be found.

  Astronomer Kailash Sahu found the planets during a seven-day observation period in February.

  "These are the farthest planets detected so far around some of the faintest stars," study leader Kailash Sahu of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Maryland told reporters at a NASA press conference.

  But Kailash Sahu, a lead astronomer at the Space Telescope Institute in Baltimore, said the Hubble has surveyed only a small, tight fraction of the Milky Way in the galaxy's central bulge some 26,000 light-years away. "Our discovery gives very strong evidence that planets are as abundant in other parts of the galaxy as they are in our own solar neighborhood," he said.
  ...
  The rest remain on the probable list, Sahu and Livio said.

  "This finding means that Earth-mass planets are not that uncommon," said Kailash Sahu of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md., and a founding member of the Probing Lensing Anomalies Network team (PLANET) that helped detect the new planet.
  ...
  "Microlensing is a promising technique to find Earth-mass planets because other current planet-hunting techniques are not sensitive to discovering low-mass planets like Earth," Sahu explained.
