How to See ‘Star Trek’ Worlds in the Night Sky But the two innermost planets, called TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c, are stepping into the starlight, with a little help from the Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble Peers at Earth-Size Planets' Atmospheres 2016-07-20T04:00:00Z Earth-sized exoplanets are usually hard to study because they’re relatively small; if they orbit bright stars like our Sun, they are often overwhelmed by intense starlight, making them difficult to see and study. Trio of Earth-like planets found near ultra-cool star may have the right conditions for life 2016-05-02T04:00:00Z When such a "transit" occurs, there is a tell-tale decrease in starlight. Lasers could 'cloak Earth from aliens' - BBC News 2016-03-31T04:00:00Z Whenever a planet transits a small amount of starlight passes through the world’s atmosphere, and different molecules in the atmosphere change the wavelengths of the light that’s passing through. Exoplanet Proxima b is 'potentially habitable' — so how would we find life if it's there? 2016-08-25T04:00:00Z It’s tucked near the star, where scientists suspect rocky planets are likely to live—and where it’s often exceedingly difficult to see anything other than dusty starlight. Surprising Picture Shows Planet Forming 450 Light-Years Away 2016-03-18T04:00:00Z He reasoned that when a planet 'transits', or passes in front of a star, molecules in its atmosphere will absorb some of the starlight, and leave their spectroscopic fingerprints in it. The truth about exoplanets 2016-02-16T05:00:00Z The difficulty of solving the equations is one reason why, after being first vindicated in 1919 by observations of “bent” starlight during a solar eclipse, the theory languished for decades. There’s no space for today’s young Einsteins | Philip Ball 2016-02-12T05:00:00Z Most famously, the British astronomer Arthur Eddington observed a solar eclipse in May 1919 and concluded that starlight passing close to the sun was, indeed, bent in a manner consistent with Einstein's theory. A brief history of gravity, gravitational waves and LIGO 2016-02-11T05:00:00Z According to relativity, the spacetime curved by the sun’s mass would bend incoming starlight like a lens.

How Einstein Revealed the Universe's Strange "Nonlocality" 2015-11-11T05:00:00Z "The vapor is getting lost into orbit, and that condenses into dust which then blocks the starlight." Dying Star Destroys a Dwarf Planet 2015-10-22T04:00:00Z “With additional observations of this system, we can learn things like the size of the dust grains blocking the starlight, and what the rocky bodies are composed of,” adds Vanderburg. Dead star spotted eating planetary leftovers 2015-10-20T04:00:00Z Around the 800-day mark, the star’s light dropped by 15 percent, Then around the 1500-day mark, there was a flurry of dimming with one dropping 20 percent of the starlight. ‘Alien megastructure’ could explain mysterious new Kepler results 2015-10-16T04:00:00Z Other scientific instruments designed to detect exoplanets do so indirectly, by, for example, detecting the dip in starlight as a planet passes in front of its parent sun. Young 'alien Jupiter' planet discovered - BBC News 2015-08-14T04:00:00Z Kepler detects planets through “transits,” watching for the telltale dips in starlight caused by the shadows of worlds that happen to flit across the faces of their stars as seen from Earth.

Physics Week in Review: July 18, 2015 2015-07-18T04:00:00Z Each world “transits” the star as seen from Earth, casting shadows toward us that Kepler registers as minuscule dips in starlight. Taking the Weight of an Alien World 2015-06-18T04:00:00Z Because of their close-in orbits, transiting M dwarf planets would block a larger fraction of starlight than they would if they orbited larger stars, making their shadows easier to see. M-Dwarfs Could Be the Best—or Worst—Extraterrestrial Homes 2015-05-13T04:00:00Z The planet’s host star is estimated to be 1.5 billion years older than our Sun, and the planet itself receives some ten percent more starlight than our own world. Kepler Mission Discovers a Near-twin of Earth Orbiting Sun-like Star 2015-07-23T04:00:00Z The Kepler space telescope revealed just how common exoplanets are by spotting the slight dimming of starlight they cause when transiting, or passing in front, of their stars. CSI: Aliens—Astronomers Prep to Detect Cryptic Exoplanet Biosignals 2015-05-12T04:00:00Z The Hubble's alignment was off, and therefore it drifted ever so slightly while the camera made its exposure, resulting in these strange, striking streaks of starlight.
