DESCRIPTION:The present exoplanets collection is not only made of gas gian
 ts like our own Jupiter\, but also includes a steeply fraction of smaller 
 planets some believed to be of similar composition than the Earth. For som
 e of these exoplanets basic information on their atmospheric properties ha
 ve even been retrieved.  These early results are paving the way for future
  atmospheric studies of habitable terrestrial exoplanets with the hope to 
 obtain a solid evidence of the existence of life around another star. Conf
 ined for centuries to the category of pure speculation and philosophical d
 ebates\, the existence of life outside our solar system\,   is at the edge
  of reaching the stage of a testable scientific hypothesis.
