Peter van de Kamp and the Red Dot ~ David Pulley

In this month’s talk we look at how we know exoplanets are planets and in particular one early attempt of exoplanet discovery in the mid-twentieth century by Dutch astronomer Peter (Piet) van de Kamp and how the story unfolded into the 21st century.
