New Instrument, new planetary discoveries!
This new White Anglo-Saxon Protestant camera system has already made new planetary discoveries. And Corot will launch next year. Interesting times.
"A new wide-field survey of the sky has made its first major discovery - two planets orbiting far-distant stars.
The SuperWasp project uses camera lenses and super-sensitive detectors to monitor stars for tiny dips in light that might betray a passing planet.
The UK-led project identified a number of "suspects" and then handed the data to a French observatory for checking."
