This virtual model examines how scientists have used the Transit Method to detect over 3,000 exoplanets as they pass in front of their host stars. Explore the other 4 methods that have led to the discovery of over 900 others too!
This math challenge invites learners to take part in recent celestial discoveries, by using the mathematical constant pi to find out how much solar energy is lost on Earth when Mercury transits the Sun.
With this interactive, you can develop a model of an exoplanet orbiting its star in order to predict and interpret the signal of an exoplanet. What happens when the planet is different sizes, or orbits at different speeds?
