Scientists from Ankara University in the Turkish capital made it to the annals of Turkish astronomy with the discovery of two planets in the Kepler-451 binary star system, some 1,336 light-years away from Earth. This is the second such discovery by Turkish scientists.
Professor Selim Osman Selam, one of the scientists from the university's Department of Astronomy and Space Sciences, said the planets are almost twice the size of Jupiter's mass. Their findings were recently published in an international astronomy journal.
