About this course

This gravitational microlensing effect subtly alters the star's light curve, revealing the presence of orbiting planets. The technique is especially sensitive to planets far from their stars. Exoplanet microlensing surveys monitor millions of stars, searching for these fleeting brightening events. This method has discovered many exoplanets, including some in distant regions inaccessible to other detection methods. Are you fascinated by planets beyond our solar system? Learn more about this unique exoplanet detection method! Dive into the world of gravitational microlensing and explore the universe's hidden wonders!
