Exoplanet Radio Ep. 28: How Starshades Can Help Find New Worlds

The 365 Days of Astronomy - Un podcast de 365DaysOfAstronomy.org

From August 28, 2023. Most of the 5,000 exoplanets discovered so far have been found using methods that don’t actually see the planet at all.  Brightness dimmings and star wobbles only get us so far. They limit our ability to study them in detail and astronomers are working on gigantic starshades to resolve planets directly!   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
