No word on HOW he'll restore them, though -- or how much. |

Remember that, even when Marcy and Butler started their search, it was regarded as a fool's errand by most other astronomers -- first because it was thought that we didn't have the technological tools yet to detect adequately small Doppler shifts in starlight (they themselves describe their discovery that an iodine-vapor cell could be used for that purpose as a sudden -- and delayed -- brainstorm); and second, because nobody expected giant planets to be orbiting so close to their suns that detectable Doppler-shift patterns could be detected in such a short period. The discovery of the first "hot Jupiter" came as a total shock to everybody, them included.
