I was thinking this morning about how scientists discover planets orbiting distant stars by monitoring the wobble of the star from the orbiting planet's gravitational pull.
I was wondering if scientists have measured our own star's wobble to compare it to other stars? If you can find another star with a similar wobble you could reasonably conclude it contained a system like our own. As we are as yet unable to detect smaller planets, perhaps this would be a good way to make an educated guess?
