Astrometrics
In the
fictional Star Trek: Voyager, the
Astrometrics center is the
set for various scenes.
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.
