NASA will hold a press conference Wednesday to announce new findings on exoplanets, according to a press release from the space agency.

The event will air live as officials go into detail about updates on the planets orbiting stars other than our sun, states the release.

No further detail on the findings was given, but in recent months scientists have found hundreds of exoplanets lurking in the cosmos.

This month a team of space researchers announced that they had discovered five new exoplanets outside our solar system.

Classified as "hot Jupiters" for their orbital proximity to their parent star and being much warmer than our own Jupiter, the exoplanets were detected using the Wide Angle Search for Planets cameras at the South African Astronomical Observatory in Sutherland, South Africa, according to a previous report.

Prior to this announcement, an international team of researchers discovered 114 new planets, including a “super-Earth” and 60 others that could support life. Named GJ411b, the hot, rocky-surfaced Earth-like planet’s discovery could mean that all the stars near the sun have planets orbiting them, which means that they too might be capable of supporting alien life.

The conference will be live streamed on NASA TV.
