Astrometrics
is the
science
of
stellar
measurements
and
motion
. Astrometrics was used, during the
1990s
, to detect
extrasolar
gas giants
orbiting
various
solar systems
. This was done by observing the "
stellar wobble[?]
" of a star and calculating what kinds of
gravitational
forces
would cause such motion; it was then determined that
planetary
forces must be affecting the stars in question.
