Astronomers Track A Wobbly Star To A Perplexing Jupiter-Like Planet Holding Keys To How Planets Form
Astronomers were able to detect a Jupiter sized exoplanet by tracing a nearly indistinguishable wobble of the star it orbits. By using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), astronomers produced the first-ever 3 dimensional structure of the orbits of a binary pair of stars and a planet orbiting one of them.
