Detecting Planet Transits
Jupiter Earth Small planets are really hard to find
Jupiter Neptune 2 x Earth Earth Small planets are really
hard to find
* •need to look at the right place • at
the right time •and measure the brightness of stars • with extreme accuracy
NASA’s Kepler Mission “Are Earth-like planets common?”
* Kepler was launched on 6 March 2009 Attached to
a big telescope 100 megapixel camera (100 deg2) Makes movies of stars! The Kepler Spacecraft
* March 6, 2009
* The Kepler Field of View
• So what does the data look like?
