Zoom into the Sagittarius area of the nighttime sky, where Hubble looked into our Milky Way galaxy for extrasolar planets. The camera then zooms all the way into our galaxy's central bulge, where the view dissolves into an artist's interpretation of one of the orbiting planet candidates.
Jessie talks about her Ph.D project, searching for extrasolar planets using the transit method from the south pole. For more information about Physics: http://www.phys.unsw .edu.au/

This computer-generated animation begins with a rough map of the planet HD 189733b, as measured with NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Astronomers obtained a series of pole-to-pole strips in infrared light, then wrapped that map around a 3-d surface to show what the planet looks like. They found that the planet has a "hot spot" offset from high noon. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
