Sun Observations Help Find More Exoplanets

Astronomers are using the Sun to improve their ability to find planets around other stars, known as exoplanets.

By studying the wobble of the Sun caused by the gravitational pull of planets in our solar system, researchers can refine their methods for detecting exoplanets.

This new technique, using the NEID instrument, has shown promising results in reducing the noise from the Sun's variability.

This advancement suggests that future telescopes will be able to detect Earth-sized planets around other stars, bringing us closer to finding planets that could potentially support life.
