M: But if the astronomers didnt see the planets through a telescope, how did they find them? W: By a very indirect method.
41、 Hum, the astronomers measured subtle distortions in the frequency of the light from the parent stars and observed that some of the stars seem to rock back and forth. They determined that this is caused by the gravitational pull from orbiting planets. M: There is a powerful new telescope being built
42、 in Arizona. Will that help them see these planets? W: They should be able to see them at least in the form of small spots of light. And then the scientists would be able to break down and analyze this light.25By doing this, they hope to learn about the chemical composition of these planets. Oxygen
