Jupiter and Saturn-like Planets Discovered

Scientists have discovered two planets that resemble Jupiter and Saturn (although smaller) almost 5,000 light years away. The international team of astronomers who discovered these planets hope that their find sheds light on the existence of planetary systems like our own in our galaxy. The article I found also desribes the process through which these planets became visible--gravitational microlensing. I won't explain that to you but if you would like to read more about this, here's the link:
