LAST WEEK WE FOUND FOUR GAS GIANTS - DID YOU KNOW THESE GIANTS PULL ON OUR SUN AS THEY# ORBIT, CAUSING IT TO WIGGLE?
THIS IS ONE WAY ASTRONOMERS CAN FIND PLANETS# AROUND OTHER STARS - WANNA SEE ONE?
HIT THE DARKNESS AFTER SUNSET AT EIGHT PM AND# FACE EAST.
THE BRIGHT JUPITER WILL BE THERE NEXT TO CASTOR AND POLLUX.
IT’S PLANET, POLLUX# B, IS TWICE THE SIZE OF JUPITER!
COOL RIGHT?
WANT ANOTHER?
WAIT TILL TEN AND USE THE END OF THE BIG DIPPER TO POINT TOWARD# LEO’S STAR ALGIBA (al-GEE-bah)!
ALGIBA IS A BINARY STAR SYSTEM ONE HUNDRED# AND TWENTY FIVE LIGHT YEARS AWAY.
ORBITING ALGIBA IS GAMMA LEONIS B!
IT’S ALMOST# NINE TIMES THE SIZE OF JUPITER - WOW WE ARE FINDING SO MANY PLANETS OUT THERE.# BUT, YOU KNOW, IF ALIEN ASTRONOMERS LOOK AT OUR SUN.
*THEY’D* SEE A WIGGLE!
AND# WOULD KNOW WE HAVE PLANETS!!
THATS COOL.
