A furled model of the first starshade built by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab is shown in an Astro Aerospace/Northrup Grumman facility in Santa Barbara, California in 2013.  Starshade Deployment The flower you see in this animation isn’t NASA’s attempt to celebrate the coming of spring. It’s actually the latest design in a cutting-edge effort to take pictures of planets orbiting stars far ... Flower power: NASA reveals spring starshade animation If life exists on some of the exoplanets that Kepler finds, it may exist in forms similar to what we see in some of Earth's most extreme conditions. Kepler: Diversity of life possible on other planets When a planet passes directly between a star and its observer, it dims the star's light by a measurable amount. Light curves get complicated when more planets are transiting a star. The combined li... Transit Method Single Planet When a planet passes directly between a star and its observer, it dims the star's light by a measurable amount. Light curves get complicated when more planets are transiting a star. The combined li... Transit Method Multiple Planets Astronomers can take pictures of exoplanets by removing the overwhelming glare of the stars they orbit. Direct Imaging The first extra-solar planet detected around a star similar to the Sun was 51 Peg. It has about the mass of Jupiter. But unlike Jupiter, which is five times as far from the Sun as Earth and orbits ... Hot Jupiter Our Sun is just one out of over 200 billion stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way. The Sun is located in the Orion arm of our galaxy about 25,000 light years from the center of the Galaxy. Kepler will... Kepler's View of the Galaxy This slide explains the radial velocity method for exoplanet detection. Exoplanet Detection: Radial Velocity Method The Kepler mission found 1,284 new planets via the transit method. When a planet passes directly between its star and an observer, it dims the star's light by a measurable amount. 5 Ways to Find a Planet- Transits Kepler is launched at night on a Delta 2 expendable launch vehicle. Kepler Launch at night This animation shows the first-ever map of the surface of an exoplanet, or a planet beyond our solar system. Spitzer Maps an Exoplanet The stars TESS studies are 30 to 100 times brighter than those the Kepler mission and K2 follow-up surveyed, enabling far easier follow-up observations with both ground-based and space-based telesc... Animation: Kepler Passes the Torch to TESS This animated slide explains and illustrates the astronomical objects present throughout the universe stretching from our solar system outward. Astronomical Objects Through the History of the Universe How do coronagraphs find exoplanets? Find out in this animation narrated by Dr. Nick Siegler, Technology Manager of the NASA Exoplanet Exploration Program. The Search for Alien Earths - How Coronagraphs Find Hidden Planets Launched in March 2009, NASA’s first planet-hunter confirmed more than 2,600 planets beyond our solar system. "Many stars have planets. A lot of these planets are Earth-sized. That's Kepler's legac... Kepler End of Flight Documentary NASA Associate Administrator Thomas Zurbuchen and TESS Project Scientist Padi Boyd discuss Kepler's legacy, the search for life and the big question: Are we alone? Next Steps in the Search for Life The orbit of a planet can cause a star to wobble around in space in relation to nearby stars in the sky. Astrometry Within our own solar system we can observe planetary transits of Mercury and Venus when they pass in front of the Sun as viewed from Earth. Kepler will observe the same phenomena in order to detect... Lost in the Glare This slide explains the transit method for exoplanet detection. Exoplanet Detection: Transit Method This video is a trailer of the upcoming TESS mission. TESS Mission Trailer The Kepler mission will be looking continuously at over 100,000 stars in one region of the sky, in the Cygnus and Lyra constellations. The field of view is extremely large for an astronomical teles... Kepler Field of View This visualization, produced using the Hayden Planetarium's Digital Universe--the most comprehensive and scientifically accurate, three-dimensional map of the known universe-- shows where the star ... Remote Reconnaissance of Another Solar System A night test of a small-scale starshade model shows how the starshade could block bright light from telescopes. Starshade desert testing NASA's Kepler mission has discovered the first transiting circumbinary system multiple planets orbiting two suns 4,900 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Cygnus, proving that more t... |
