| YaKnow (OP) User ID: 1540762 09/08/2011 10:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is how, Per NASA Confirmation link in top post, Kepler locates planets by looking for a star that dims slightly as a planet transits the star, passing across the star's face from our point of view. Transits give one crucial piece of information - the planet's physical size. The greater the dip in light, the larger the planet relative to its star. However, the planet and star must line up exactly for us to see |

They have used the wobble of stars to see planets before. I love physics. It bonds us eternally, it's what makes our computers work, it's what's in my morning cup of coffee, it's the thing that keeps the universe from vanishing due to lack of belief... |

DOn;t believe numby? Here;s the proof unlike what you can furnish... [link to images.astronet.ru] |

Kepler-19b, which orbits the Sun-like star Kepler-19 650 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lyra, has been found to have an 'invisible' world tugging on it. How do astronomers know, since it's invisible? Kepler-19b alternately runs late and early in its orbit, the first definite detection of a previously unknown planet using this method. No other technique could have found the unseen companion. Kepler-19 is a 12th-magnitude star and can be seen by backyard telescopes on September evenings. [link to www.science20.com] |

NASA has been reading my posts how I ridiculed colorless hydrogen Jupiter on it being photographable in the dark of outer-space for its COLOR definition and NASA surmised that if the Sheeple still believe Jupiter is real after the Bitch-slapping sessions Punisher did they'll believe anything including an invisible planet that's actually invisible. There's a sucker born every minute. |
