Astronomers have discovered the lightest star known to date that has an extrasolar planet orbiting it, this is also the first time a technique known as astrometry has been used to successfully locate a planet around a distant star.
An extrasolar planet has been found by observing subtle changes in a star's position in the sky for the first time. The technique, called astrometry, is best suited to finding planets at great distances from their stars, complementing more common techniques, which tend to turn up planets orbiting their stars at close range."
