\@writefile{lof}{\contentsline {figure}{\numberline {1}{\ignorespaces The diagram of an exoplanet transit. The planet, small, dark circle, crosses in front of the star as seen from Earth. In the process, it blocks out some light. The light curve, shown on the bottom, is a plot of brightness versus time, and shows that the star brightness is steady until the exoplanet starts to cover up some of the visible surface of the star. As it does so, the star dims. It eventually returns back to its normal brightness only to await the next transit.}}{3}}

\@writefile{lof}{\contentsline {figure}{\numberline {2}{\ignorespaces A coronagraphic image of an exoplanet orbiting the star ``Fomalhaut B'' (inside the box, with the arrow labeled ``2012''). This image was obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope, and the star's light has been blocked-out using a small metal disk. Fomalhaut is also surrounded by a dusty disk of material---the broad band of light that makes a complete circle around the star. This band of dusty material is about the same size as the Kuiper belt in our solar system. The planet, ``Fomalhaut B'', is estimated to take 1,700 years to orbit once around the star. Thus, using Kepler's third law (P$^{\rm  2}$ $\propto $ a$^{\rm  3}$), it is roughly about 140 AU from Fomalhaut (remember that Pluto orbits at 39.5 AU from the Sun).}}{4}}
