How Do We Find Exoplanets? | BYJU'S Fun Facts

Have you ever wondered if there are planets outside the solar system? Or have you wondered if all the stars you see in the night sky have their own planets revolving around them? Well, the answer to both of these questions is a loud and reverberating ‘YES’ and these are the EXOPLANETS! The fascinating thing is, these exoplanets are so far off, that our regular telescopes aren’t good enough to actually see them. But no challenge has never stopped mankind from discovering more about the universe around us.

In this BYJU’S Fun Facts video, we’ll be exploring how satellites like Kepler and TESS use a very unique technique called the TRANSIT method to detect these really really far exoplanets. And not just discovery, but also the living conditions on these planets! Brace yourself to learn just how we find these exoplanets.
