CORAVEN (Coronagraphic Observatory for Exoplanet Verification)

CORAVEN (Coronagraphic Observatory for Exoplanet Verification) is a specialized telescope instrument designed to directly observe and confirm exoplanets—planets outside our solar system. Using advanced techniques to block out the bright light of stars, CORAVEN can detect faint planets orbiting nearby stars. This allows scientists to verify the existence of exoplanets more accurately and study their characteristics, such as size and atmospheric composition. By improving direct imaging, CORAVEN enhances our ability to explore and understand the diversity of planets beyond our solar system, contributing valuable data to the search for potentially habitable worlds.
