摘要：
Astronomers have previously inferred the existence of giant extrasolar planets from the wobble they generate in their parent star. Now, the shadow caused by a planet passing in front of its star, and the probable detection of reflected light from a planet orbiting a very bright star, provide direct evidence for their existence. Such studies offer a way to probe the chemical composition and atmospheres of extrasolar planets.
