Puzzle Description:

The common point about which two bodies orbit. The gravity of the smaller body causes the larger to wobble. We use this to detect extra-solar planet. It is a very effective method if the orbiting planet is large and close.

simple edge logic on the 5 clue in r3
no guessing

Enjoyable little puzzle, Brian.

So, whoever rated this as "needs guessing," you might want to check out the FAQ tab on the left to learn about edge logic, so you can learn that puzzles like this do not require guessing. :-) But first change the rating so the question mark goes away, please.

I knew this concept, but not the word. I'll probably remember it now because the only Barry I know is large enough to share a center of gravity...

Think about him holding hands with someone much lighter while ice skating. When they go into one of those two person spins they will rotate around a point closer to his center. The "Barry Center"

Found to be logically solvable by gator.

Enjoyable start to the day. I love to learn (to be reminded of) something.
