Exoplanet Detection Model

Discover planets hidden in starlight

Age 12+ Activity Model

Learn how astronomers discover planets beyond our Solar System using the transit method. Students generate and analyze light curves while investigating how a planet passing in front of a star causes measurable changes in brightness.
