Gif of planet discoveries shown by two graphs. The one of the left shows planets in terms of their mass vs. orbital period and the one of the right shows a histogram of their radius. Each frame steps through time showing how rapidly we started finding planets one we launched dedicated telescopes for it like Kepler in 2009 and TESS in 2018

    Transits have been the most successful method of finding exoplanets so far!

    Once the Kepler Space telescope launched in 2009 the number of #exoplanets we had discovered absolutely skyrocketed

    We've discovered that #exoplanets are very different than the types of planets in our Solar System!
