alfa015 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Posted April 20, 2017 Hi there! I would like to share with you my video on how to find exoplanets from home: http://youtu.be/0zNpslOBNAk?list=PL3RiFKfZj3pv1ZqpFxuZinoGtUGEOankw To those familiar with the project, I suggest you to skip to the minute 2:00 What do you think about it? have you already found an exoplanet?

Hi there, This is a terrible example on how to find exo-planets. Even though your find may be considered an exo-planet, it may be extremely far; possibly outside our Galaxy. In such cases, it has no use. You are better off using ultraviolet ray telescope. It's expensive ($6000 is the cheapest I found - $2,000,000 Nasa's using), but the best choice. Quote

It's expensive ($6000 is the cheapest I found - $2,000,000 Nasa's using), but the best choice. aww i'm sorry you don't like the project. well, most of the known exoplanets have been discovered through the kepler space telescope, and the data provided in the project comes from the same telescope. all the exoplanets are within our galaxy, some of them are pontentially habitable and they are as close as 4 light year (the closest possible to earth that any exoplanet can be). i'm not sure what do you mean about ultraviolet ray telescopes. the james web telescope (NASA + ESA) is an infra-red telescope, but it's main purpose won't be to find exoplanets. the best method to find exoplanets is spectrography because most of the exoplanets do not transit between their host stars and us. i think there might be a potentially habitable exoplanet around alpha centauri A and B and I hope sctientists can find it with the EXPRESSO spectrograph from ESO, which is the best spectrograph in the world now.Regards.
