Episode notes
In the discovered planets which orbit flows in like they orbit around their stars in two days and the star is spinning exactly the opposite direction as the planet's orbit so it's like upside down spinning. The official term for spots on stars are called star spotYeah yeah the official term and that stands for solar temporary because sunspots we didn't know what they were until long after they were named but the name stuck. They're dimmer than the surrounding brightness of the star so that's so you know your planet crosses the star and crosses a spot.
