Excerpt: HD 189733 b is an extrasolar planet approximately 63 light-years away in the constellation of Vulpecula (the Fox). The planet was discovered orbiting the star HD 189733 on October 5, 2005, when astronomers in France observed the planet transiting across the face of the star. The planet is classified as a hot Jupiter class Jovian planet, with a close orbit to its parent star. HD 189733 b was the first extrasolar planet to be mapped and the first to be discovered with carbon dioxide in its atmosphere. The radial velocity of HD 189733 over time, caused by the presence of HD 189733 b.On October 6, 2005, a team of astronomers announced the discovery of transiting pl...
