Just a quick question; in Episode 2 (In Search of Other Worlds) you mention that: If you look at a system with a star like the Sun and a planet like Jupiter, the motion of that central star is going to be 30 times smaller than what Hubble is able to see. So we're not going to see those changes. Does this include very 'close' stars? In fact all stars? I'm doing a talk on discovering exoplanets and just wanted this clarified - BTW, your show is VERY handy for helping my prep... Cheers and thanks John Drummond Possum Observatory (IAU Code: E94) Gisborne, New Zealand E 177° 53', S 38° 38' Email: john_drummond@xtra.co.nz Website: http://www.possumobservatory.co.nz Images: http://www.possumobservatory.co.nz/latest_images-all-continuing.htm Hi Pamela,
