1. Recall the Doppler Method The doppler method of finding planets

2. Allows multiple planets to be discovered

3. Water Found in system!

6. So what have we found So Far? 174 Planets with Semi Major axis less than 0.4 AU (Mercury/sun distance) 42 Planets with Semi Major axis between 0.4 AU and 0.85 (inside sols life zone) 65 Planets with Semi Major axis between 0.85 AU and 1.4 (inside sols life zone) 140 Planets with Semi Major axis 1.4 AU and 640 AU But this isnt the whole story!
