Sorry if I was sounding patronising there. I was quite drunk, so I was concentrating too much on spelling and grammar to actually think about what I was saying...

Lampion, I heard of an interesting way to detect planets the other day on some television program. They look at a distant star and see if it's wobbling. A wobble is an indication of another planet's gravitational pull effecting the star on which it orbits. It must be a rather large planet to have such influence on a star, but then again, I don't profess to know much about astronomy so perhaps the smallest of planets could create a wobble.
That's what I meant when I said the only planets we can detect at the moment are Gas Giants.
