Abstract

Extra Exoplanet? A planet is said to transit its star if it can be seen to pass in front of the star; 19% of the known extrasolar planets are transiting planets. A lone planet will transit in an exactly periodic manner; if other planets are present, however, variations in transit duration are expected because of gravitational interactions. Holman et al. (p. 51 , published online 26 August; see the cover; see the Perspective by

Laughlin

) report timing variations in the transits of two exoplanets detected by the Kepler space telescope. The planets have masses similar to that of Saturn and transit the same Sun-like star. A third planet several times the mass of Earth may also transit the star in an interior orbit.
