 Without Jupiter, Home Alone :: Astrobiology Magazine :: Search for Life in the Universe
It is based not on observing a distant planet directly, but by observing the effect that the planet's gravity has on the motion of the star it orbits.
"Planets don't move around their stars; they actually move around the center of mass of the planetary system, and so does the star." This motion of the star is detectable from Earth as a minute periodic shift in the color of the star's light.
Because closer-in planets orbit their stars more frequently, it takes less time for an Earthbound observer to see a pattern emerge in its star's wobble than it would for a planet farther out, with a longer orbital period.
