Exoplanets

Exoplanets are planets that are outside the solar system.

Exoplanets are planets that orbit other stars than the Sun.

How do astronomers detect exoplanets?

Hu pioneered a method to detect surface minerals on bare-rock exoplanets and defined the atmospheric chemical signature of volcanic activity, which wouldn't occur on a gas planet.

First, the researchers trained the neural network to identify transiting exoplanets using a set of 15,000 previously-vetted signals from the Kepler exoplanet catalogue.

Dampening the brightness of a star's light would extend the capability of a space telescope to detect orbiting exoplanets.

A system of at least five exoplanets has been discovered by citizen scientists through a project called Exoplanet Explorers, part of the online platform Zooniverse, using data from NASA's Kepler space telescope.

Several exoplanets were discovered today.
