CHAPTER 10, Stellar Motions
... Astronomers have now detected hundreds of planetary bodies, called exoplanets, moving in orbit around other stars. Most of these are more massive than any of the Sun's planets. These planetary-like bodies are detected because of their strong gravitational interactions with their stars. However, tech ...
