 * Study for Exam. Wink and Wobble methods ARE on the exam. Just for clarification:
 * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w_IUiJpaek -
 * Radial Velocity Method (wobble method): The wobble method he mentioned is also detected through changes in the light spectrum. If the sun starts getting pulled away from Earth, even slightly, the spectrum will move towards the blue side (blue shift). If the sun starts getting pulled towards Earth, the spectrum will move towards the red side (red shift). Have a look at this video as well:
 * Transit Method (wink method): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO9tdUROMhg (Don't worry about all the equations and additional information he goes into afterwards. Just understand the general idea of how it works)
