A 45-year-old gas worker has discovered four new planets from home in his own spare time.
Amateur astronomer Peter Jalowiczor was ecstatic to have made the discovery, the process involved spending many hours examining measurements released by astronomers and applying a technique known as doppler spectroscopy. "I look for faint changes in stars' behaviours that can only be caused by a planet or planets orbiting about them," he said.An amateur astronomer is over the moon after discovering four new planets in his spare time at home. Peter Jalowiczor, 45, has never owned a telescope but still managed to provide scientists with enough information to establish the existence of four gaseous orbs outside the solar system.
