Planets Around Other Stars
Talk by Rob Knop
Until the last decade of the 20th Century, we knew of exactly one star system that had planets: our own. At the dawn of the 21st Century, we knew about a few handfuls of exoplanets, or planets around other stars. Today, we know about more than 200. In this talk, Dr. Knop will describe the history of exoplanet searches and discoveries, He'll describe the methods that we've used to find planets, and he'll give you an update about the current count and nature of expolanets that are out there.
