How Do Astronomers Find Exoplanets? Wiggles!

Well, an exoplanet is a planet, but it doesn't orbit the sun. It orbits some other star in the galaxy.

When a planet is orbiting a star, it's because the star's gravity is pulling on the planet. But forces come in pairs. If the star is pulling on the planet, the planet has to be pulling on the star with the same force.

They're very good at finding planets that have small orbits that are located close to the star, kind of like Mercury and Venus and the Earth.

This new method, which is called the astrometric method, is actually best at finding distant planets. Planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune around other stars.

This is the beginning of the next big phase of exoplanet discovery. A few years from now, we're going to be in a position to use this technique to find potentially thousands of new exoplanets, and they're going to be different from the ones that we already know about.
