Many Stars

I rad an article about this a week or so ago. What they did was track a certain number of stars and recorded images, and saw if any of the stars became dimmer, which would signify the star being eclipsed by a large planet. They found about 16 of these. 5 of them were of particular interest because they were extremely large, but were still close enough to the sun to have either shorter than earth years or days, I don't remember. Still, it's incredible because the planets are the size of Jupiter. It was the first time they had found anything like this.
