Exoplanet Studies

Exoplanet studies focus on discovering and understanding planets outside our solar system. Scientists use telescopes and advanced techniques, like observing dips in starlight or measuring star wobbles, to detect these distant worlds. They analyze exoplanet properties such as size, orbit, atmosphere, and potential habitability, helping us learn about planetary diversity and the conditions needed for life. This research enhances our understanding of planets' formation, evolution, and their place in the universe, offering insights into whether Earth-like planets might exist elsewhere.
