NASA will reveal new findings about exoplanets, or planets that orbit stars other than the sun, later Wednesday.
The agency will announce the findings about 1 p.m.
NASA has identified thousands of exoplanets, including ice giant, gas giant, super-earth and terrestrial types. Some even show a close resemblance to Earth.
The announcement comes amid news NASA scientists want to redefine what constitutes a planet, a change that could make Pluto a planet again.
