Synopsis
Transit photometry has emerged as a leading method for detecting exoplanets, measuring variations in a star's brightness as planets transit in front of them. Utilizing NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers have confirmed over a thousand exoplanets, with many more pending validation. Launched in 2009, the Kepler Space Telescope has set a benchmark in planet-hunting, significantly enhancing the understanding of planetary systems beyond the solar system. Future missions are poised to build on Kepler's achievements, further expanding knowledge of the cosmos.
