Scroll down for the animation video.

Or see it here on You tube where you can do full screen:

Might be great for the OAS Meeting if we can play it from the church hall.  Needs some-one to give a WIFI hotspot for a short while.

Hi Carole,

What a great spot - a truly awesome video that shows how far astronomy has come, just thirty years ago we simply did not know if the Sun was unique among stars in having planets orbiting it; now at the last count we're up to 4003 exoplanets.
