Exoplanet Discovery refers to the identification and confirmation of planets that exist outside our solar system, orbiting stars other than the Sun. These celestial bodies are termed “exoplanets” or “extrasolar planets.” The discovery process involves various scientific methods and technologies, including transit photometry, radial velocity measurements, and direct imaging, among others. Such discoveries have expanded our understanding of the universe, revealing diverse planetary systems with varying characteristics, and have led to the exploration of potential habitability and the search for extraterrestrial life. Exoplanet Discovery is a crucial aspect of contemporary astronomy and astrophysics, significantly advancing our knowledge of planetary formation, evolution, and the potential for life beyond Earth.
