Astronomers are stepping up their attempts to unravel the mysteries of exoplanets.
While 51 Pegasi b was found through the movement of a star, most exoplanets found since were detected in the glow of one. When a distant planet orbits in front of its star, it blocks a smidge of starlight, making the star appear temporarily fainter to us on Earth. When astronomers watch the star long enough, making note of the dimmed starlight, they can confirm not only the existence of a planet but also how long that world takes to orbit its sun, the composition of its atmosphere, and the temperature of its surface.
These are the exoplanet basics that are usually quite straightforward to discern. But the light of other suns contains a lot more information that we’re only starting to understand. One astronomer, for example, has examined how much starlight exoplanets reflect to investigate what their surfaces might be made of; ice, for example, is more reflective than water, and water is more reflective than dirt. One of the most intriguing approaches that I’ve recently come across puts a twist on the traditional method of finding exoplanets within the dips of starlight. “We know that rocky planets are going to have bumpy features, and if the planet is rotating in front of the star, those features come in and out of view and block more of the star’s light,” explains Moiya McTier, an astrophysicist who has studied exoplanets. Those tiny shifts could suggest the presence of mountains, volcanoes, and other towering terrain.

If you haven’t already noticed The point of these videos are to teach you new things & also help you sleep. You can go to every video on this channel & someone is thanking them for having helped them fall asleep

You should be more thankful. A trans spotter can be a pretty valuable wingman when you're drinking too much at the bar on a Friday night.

@@davecarsley8773 hahaa ! wait I'm confused, I thought OP would be liking to be put to sleep, like some of the others. And anyway, OP, why do you have to single out the lecturing tran spotters? I would think anyone giving a lecture would send you to sleep.. There's not really a need to single out a specific type of lecturer. Or maybe this is being told from the point of view of someone who is so good at spotting trans, that they are absolutely bored by anyone else claiming to be as good as they are. Just a theory here.

Congress lived to waste our money on needless projects. I don't blame Trump for canceling the telescope because finding new planets is less important than balancing the budget. Maybe if congress ever get's the budget bslksnced and get's us out of debt we can afford this needless scientific study.

"Needless"?! Lol. Trump cancelled the telescope because he is an idiot with the intellect and insight of an earthworm. Mind you, at least earthworms are good for the planet.

That will never happen. Not until another revolution takes place. Our leadership is WAY too corrupt to be fixed.

How do you know it is needless? Who knows what serendipitous discoveries and inventions we may make by doing hard things? You can live in an ignorant fog in your country of the balanced budget while others enjoy the fruits of science and the joy of new discovery.
