The Search for Extrasolar Planets February 7, 2011

Cambridge Young Astronomers age 11+ Group meeting.
We'll be looking at the various methods of detecting planets orbiting other stars. So far (December 2010) 515 new planets have been discovered, since the first one (51 Peg) was discovered in 1995. We shall also be looking at new methods using space telescopes to find these elusive stellar companions.
