I would think they would have to orbit pretty close to each other to produce the effect. Otherwise the inner planet would be outrunning the outer planet.

Damn I must be tired. I assumed this was a thread about gay activists.

The transits are so brief, and odds so low that the stars are under observation at just the right time, that this method may not be that hot anyway. :') However, any exoplanet which resolves to a pretty wacky orbit probably is two (or more). :')

The problem is how far away they are. Since we can’t observet them directly we can’t see if they have rings.
