Exoplanets: A World Beyond Our Solar System Detecting exoplanets can be a challenging task and we often have to rely on their heavier and brighter counterparts to detect the presence of planets. Most exoplanets are found through indirect methods: measuring the dimming of a star that happens to have a planet pass in front of it, called the transit method, or monitoring the spectrum of a star for the tell-tale signs of a planet pulling on its star and causing its light to subtly Doppler shift....
