Across
- 2. Name the university(short form only) which is leading the TESS mission along with NASA.
- 4. Which detection method was used in the discovery of first exoplanet around a sun-like star?
- 5. What is that method of detecting exoplanets when the planet passes in front of the star and the starlight gets dim by a very very small amount?
- 6. The method that gives scientist only a single chance to detect farthermost planet is gravitational.
- 9. Name of the first exoplanet discovered in 1995.
- 10. Name the type of star around which the very first exoplanet was discovered in 1992.
- 11. What is that method and the only way in which exoplanets are detected by directly looking at them?
Down
- 1. Name the telescope in space which specially designed to detect exoplanets and was launched in 2009.
- 2. Name the two scientists who shared the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics for the first discovery of an exoplanet around a normal star.
- 3. Write the short form of the telescope/satellite which was launched in space in 2018 to detect planets using only the transit method.
- 7. What is that zone/area around a star in which if a planet is present, it can hold water in the liquid state because the temperature is just right for the planet to sustain water in the liquid state?
- 8. Which detection method was used in the discovery of the very first exoplanet?
