HD 110014c orbits its star at a distance about six-tenths the distance from the Sun to the Earth—or about the distance between Venus and the Sun.“Its like imagining a planet three times bigger than Jupiter with the orbit of Venus around the Sun，” she said，adding that the red giant star is about twice the size of the Earths Sun. Another planet had already been discovered orbiting the star，and now Sotos work has added a second planet to that solar system.To find the planet，she used the so-called radial velocity (径向速度) methods of measuring the slight jiggling (晃动) movement of a star as a planet orbits around ithave to use indirect methods to detect them.I analyzed the data that had been gathered over years to confirm the first planet and I discovered the second one orbiting the star，” she said. 【语篇解读】　这是一篇说明文。智利的天文学家Maritza Soto发现了一颗是木星的体积三倍大的行星。1．What can we know about HD 110014c from the passage?
