Exoplanet research

Exoplanet research involves the study of planets located outside our solar system. Scientists use various methods, such as observing star dimming to detect planets passing in front, to identify these distant worlds. Researchers analyze exoplanet atmospheres for potential life signs, understand their compositions, and categorize them based on size and orbit. The ultimate goal is to explore the possibility of life beyond Earth and to learn more about the formation and evolution of planetary systems in the universe. Ongoing discoveries continue to expand our understanding of the vast diversity of planets that exist in our galaxy.
