The Transit Method of Detecting Exoplanets

Learn how astronomers search for extrasolar planets using the transit method through these animations and video from NASA, which show how light curves vary for exoplanet systems with a single planet, planets of different sizes, and multiple planets. Use this resource to visualize how the transit method is used to detect exoplanets and to provide opportunities to model relationships between planets orbiting their host stars.
