Venus Transit Of Sun In June Will Find Alien Planets
Observations of next month’s historic Venus transit may eventually help astronomers spot and study alien planets circling faraway stars, one prominent researcher says.
On June 5, Venus will cross the face of the sun from Earth’s perspective — the last time it will do so for 105 years. But the upcoming Venus transit of the sun is more than just a rare skywatching treat; it’s also a great opportunity to hone our techniques for hunting down and characterizing alien planets.
“We’re trying to do as much as we can to use the transit of Venus to understand exoplanets and their atmospheres,” Jay Pasachoff, of Williams College, told SPACE.com.Looking for transits is one of the most productive ways to find alien planets. NASA’s Kepler space telescope, for example, has detected roughly 2,300 exoplanet candidates using this method, which flags the telltale dips in a star’s brightness caused by a transiting planet.
