Exoplanets and How To Find Them

We're currently in the midst of a golden age of astronomy. The confirmation of planets around other stars has given way to finding countless strange and fascinating worlds and stellar systems very unlike our own.

What is habitable anyway? What new discoveries are we looking forward to?
