Dear friends of science and ASTRONOMY,

Astronomers from Uk and Europe have discovered and pinpointed two new JUPITER
sized giant planets. Academics of the St Andrew university and other UK
institutions used the technique which used for star that "wink" a breakthrough
in the search for the new planets orbiting the distant stars. Planets are
orbiting closer to the parent stars like our SUN star. and so planets are in
closer orbits are even hotter than our Mercury planet - more than 400C.

Planet WASP-1b and Planet WASP-2b found 1000 light years in andromeda
constellation & 500 light years in delphinus constellation respectively. They
used the WIDE angle telescope and digital style camera based in the canary
islands and south Africa. Colleagues from France and Switzerland then used the
spectrographs called "SOPHIE" to identify the mass as PLANETS.

EU astronomers are using international collaboration known as SUPER SWAP (wide
angle search for planets) detecting the TUG or "WOBBLE" they produce as they
orbit the star. they look for "WINKS" or dips in bright ness. Duration and dips
in the light curve had allowed than to measure the radius of the planets. Super
WASP is expected to find many more planets said Prof. Andrew collier Cameron
from the St Andrew University.
