In this episode of Exploring the Cosmos with SOLARIS, Nayan and Keerthi take you on a deep dive into the fascinating world of exoplanet discovery. From decoding starlight using the radial velocity method to observing tiny transits that reveal distant planets, they explore the ingenious ways astronomers uncover these hidden worlds.

Discover how direct imaging is pushing technological boundaries, why gravitational microlensing feels like something straight out of Interstellar, and how astrometry unlocks precision tracking at an unimaginable scale. Along the way, Nayan and Keerthi break down the challenges and successes of missions like Kepler, TESS, and the James Webb Space Telescope.

Join them as they unpack the tools and techniques that are not just finding new planets—but also searching for signs of life beyond Earth. Could we be on the verge of discovering another Earth? The answer may be closer than we think.

Tune in, get curious, and keep exploring!
