The Seven Wonders of Exoplanets Ep2 How do we discover exoplanets

Circa 5000, ma il numero di pianeti conosciuti cresce ogni giorno. I primi esopianeti furono scoperti nel 1992 intorno ad una stella “morta”, da uno scienziato polacco e uno canadese (Wolszczan e Frail). Nel 1995 fu scoperto il primo esopianeta intorno ad una stella simile al nostro sole da due scienziati svizzeri (Mayor e Queloz), che hanno recentemente ricevuto il premio Nobel per questa scoperta. About 5,000, but the number of known planets is growing every day. The first exoplanets were discovered in 1992 around a "dead" star, by a Polish and a Canadian scientist (Wolszczan and Frail). In 1995, the first exoplanet around a star similar to our sun was discovered by two Swiss scientists (Mayor and Queloz), who recently received the Nobel Prize for this discovery.
