... Light from a Extra Solar Planet . ... The planet, illustrated in the above drawing , had its light detected by comparing the brightness of only the parent star, when the planet was behind the star, to the light emitted when both the planet and its parent star were visible. The Earth- orbit ing Spitzer Space Telescope made the observation in infrared light , where the intrinsic glow of the planet outshines the light it reflects from its central star. ...
