Nearby Stars and the Search for Planets Dr. Ianna's second lecture will be a physics colloquium and is not part of the Investigating Pseudoscience Lecture series. In the first quarter of this century, a large proportion of astronomical research focused on working out distances and luminosities for stars in our neighborhood. As astrophysics developed the emphasis shifted outwards to the farthest reaches of the Milky Way and the galaxies beyond. Following a period of relative neglect, there is renewed interest in nearby stars in the wake of the discoveries of extra-solar Jovian mass planets, circumstellar dust, and planetary debris disks.
