The Scenic Route to the Observatory

The view on the way to the observatory was absolutely beautiful.  Not only was the view a plus, but the dome in which we watched the informative video was really awesome too. It was really cool to be able to lay down in the absolutely amazingly comfortable chairs and feel like we are on a journey through space.  The ideas and theories mentioned during the video were really fascinating but they also made me wonder if we can actually base the creation and evidence of new planets off of the information gathered from telescopes. For example the charts showing dips in the amount of light being shown over a span of time, doesn't necessarily mean that we can state that the dips show that new planets are actually in that area of space.
