      I’ll be honest – not very much. They sound pretty cool though. I think they’re planets outside of our solar system that are more massive than the Earth, but less massive than Uranus. From this website it looks like we’ve found quite a few. It’s a bit easier to find these kind of extrasolar planets than Earth sized ones as they’re a bit bigger.
