The hunt for exoplanets, globes outside our solar system, has revealed a plethora of distant
worlds with different characteristics. The discovery of the first exoplanet in
the 1990s was a ground-breaking achievement, and since also, astronomers have
linked thousands of exoplanets using colorful experimental ways. Astronomers have been
using telescopes like the Kepler Space Telescope and the Transiting Exoplanet
Survey Satellite (TESS) to discover and study these Elysian neighbors. The
Kepler Space Telescope, during its charge, observed a region of the Milky Way
world, detecting thousands of exoplanet campaigners by covering the brilliance
of stars and relating slight dips caused by coursing globes. Also, TESS, launched
in 2018, continues the quest for exoplanets by observing further than 200,000
stars, looking for periodic dips in brilliance as globes pass in front of their
host stars. This exploration has sparked the stopgap of chancing inhabitable exoplanets and the eventuality of extra-terrestrial life. Scientists are particularly interested in exoplanets
located within the" inhabitable zone" around their stars, where
conditions might allow for the actuality of liquid water — a pivotal component
for life as we know it.
