exoplanet exploration
Exoplanet exploration refers to the study of planets located outside our solar system, known as exoplanets. Scientists use various methods, such as the transit method and radial velocity technique, to detect these distant worlds. The goal is to understand their characteristics, such as size, composition, and potential habitability.
Space telescopes like Kepler and TESS have significantly advanced exoplanet exploration by identifying thousands of these planets. Researchers analyze data to find Earth-like exoplanets in the habitable zone, where conditions may support liquid water and, potentially, life. This field of study helps us learn more about the universe and our place within it.
