  1. 1. Name the telescope in space which specially designed to detect exoplanets and was launched in 2009.
  2. 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. 3. Write the short form of the telescope/satellite which was launched in space in 2018 to detect planets using only the transit method.
  4. 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?
  5. 8. Which detection method was used in the discovery of the very first exoplanet?
