"1992 ~ The first extrasolar planets were announced by astronomer Alexander Wolszczan."

Reminds me of a bit from the book "Fly for your Life" where a seacaptain said to the young Bob Tuck, "If they're flyshit, we're OK, if they're rocks, we're fucked."

Momentary visions of dust on the telescope, LOL.

They use a bizarre method of measuring variations of light during planetary transit and the incredibly tiny wobble in the sun created by the mass of the orbiting planet.
