DESCRIPTION:The discovery of new planets beyond our solar system\, in part
 icular the detection and characterization of other habitable planets simil
 ar to the Earth\, is a fascinating intellectual adventure.  The completely
  unexpected characteristics of exoplanets are capturing the imagination an
 d interest of the scientific community and the general public.  More recen
 tly the large population of Super-Earth planet questions the universality 
 of our Solar System as a typical planetary system.While the quest to find 
 bodies similar to the Earth is still on going\, the first spectra of exopl
 anets have been taken\, signaling the shift from an era of discovery to on
 e of physical and chemical characterization. This talk will provide an ove
 rview of current outcomes of planet programs as well as its limitation and
  prospects to move forward\n
