Learn the Sky | All about Exoplanets @learnthesky | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Exoplanets are planets that exist outside of our own solar system. At the time that this was published, over 4,900 exoplanets have been discovered and thousands more are waiting to be confirmed. Learn how exoplanets are detected, categories scientists use to classify exoplanets, and missions involved with exoplanet detection.
Note: NASA has two other missions not mentioned in this video: Kepler Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope. Links to learn more about these missions are listed below.
