Yes they talked about it on AM radio this morning. The guy interviewed some female astronomer from NASA. He asked how they can detect these. They can detect extremely small changes in brightness of a star when a planet eclipses it. That resolution of measurement amazes me!

When they find a suspect she said "it is pretty much all hands on deck at that point". Then they use all of their instrumentation to measure spectra changes when the planet eclipses the star and try to determine hints about the atmosphere.

The "all hands" made me realize that this is like global warming. It is agenda driven. They really want to prove that there is life out there which opposes the bible.
