    It is a branch of astronomy wherein measurements of the positions and movements of celestial bodies are precisely are made.

    For the measurement, minute wobbling of the position of the body is detected. When the shift is detected periodically, the astronomers come to know that the star is orbited by a planet.

    Also, basic data about the properties of the stars can be collected using this method.
