<p>Too many projects on my plate at the moment that I can&#8217;t keep up with posting the latest, cool exoplanet info. I do plan on updating the site with some better functionality in the next few months, while preserving the same look. Just better organized links and navigation on pages with a lot of information. The collection of resources is one the highlights of this site, as I intended it to be of use to students, educators, and armchair scientists and astronomers, so I&#8217;d like to get that in shape. Until then, cheers!</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/exoworld/JUve/~4/mFkVswY6if4" height="1" width="1"/> 0 http://blog.exoworld.info/2012/09/slowing-down-and-updating-the-site/ Exoworld.info http://exoworld.info http://blog.exoworld.info/?p=334 2012-07-29T05:06:45Z 2012-07-29T05:06:45Z

<p>New exoplanet found using the using the highly scientific tug method.</p> <blockquote><p><a style="border: none;" href="http://earthsky.org/space/new-planet-found-in-distant-solar-system-by-its-tug-on-another-world" target="_blank">Astronomers using the Kepler Space Telescope have observed the gravitational tugging of one previously hidden planet on another known planet orbiting the sun-like star KOI-872. This technique led to Neptune’s discovery in the year 1846, via its gravitational influence on Uranus. This is the first time the technique has been successfully used to identify a planet outside our solar system. The paper describing these results was published in the journal Science on May 10, 2012.</a></p></blockquote> <div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 484px"><a style="border: none;" href="http://earthsky.org/space/new-planet-found-in-distant-solar-system-by-its-tug-on-another-world" target="_blank"><img style="border: none;" title="KOI-872 Planets | Southwest Research Institute" src="http://msnbcmedia2.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/120510-AlienPhoto-hmed-1240p_files.grid-6x2.jpg" alt="KOI-872 Planets | Southwest Research Institute" width="474" height="474" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">KOI-872 Planets | image: Southwest Research Institute</p></div> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/exoworld/JUve/~4/ajbnO8Mh1Eg" height="1" width="1"/> 0 http://blog.exoworld.info/2012/05/tug-tug-tug-tug-hi-im-koi-872c/ Exoworld.info http://exoworld.info http://blog.exoworld.info/?p=294 2012-04-16T01:31:05Z 2012-04-16T01:31:05Z
