One of the most successful techniques for discovering distant exoplanets is the Transit Method. The method is particularly interesting due to its ability to detect relatively small planets, including Earth-sized…
The Radial Velocity Detection Method, or Doppler spectroscopy, is used in astronomy to detect exoplanets. This method is done by observing the velocity variations in a star due to the…
Cepheid variables are unique stars studied in space. They have been utilized in measuring cosmic distances. While stellar parallax is limited to stars within hundreds of parsecs, Cepheid variable stars…
The vastness of the universe is crossing unimaginable distances. Measuring these distances is not only important for mapping the universe but also for understanding how it expands and evolves. The…
The universe is vast, but how do scientists determine the distance of stars? - They use a method called stellar parallax. This article will explain stellar parallax and how scientists…
You may have heard many times about white dwarf stars. But how about the black dwarfs? They are not the opposite of white dwarfs. They are formed from white dwarfs,…
