CoRoT (Convection and Rotation in Stars)

CoRoT (Convection and Rotation in Stars) was a space mission launched by the European Space Agency to study stars. It focused on understanding how stars rotate and how energy moves inside them through convection (similar to boiling water). By observing star brightness variations, CoRoT helped scientists learn about stellar interiors, evolution, and the presence of planets around stars. Its precise measurements provided new insights into the internal processes of stars, improving our understanding of stellar life cycles. Overall, CoRoT advanced astrophysics by revealing detailed information about how stars behave and change over time.
