Welcome Home (A new Earth) - Part II - DRH004

Welcome Home! The discovery of a new planet for mankind.

We start this second part explaining the techniques being used to detect exoplanets.

The techniques that we talk about in detail are:

• Star wobble
• Transit
• Starshade
• Coronagraph
• Gravitational lensing

During the show we also talk about other ideas and projects like the Star Occulter, that would use a giant 45m (148ft) daisy-shaped, plastic shield in tandem with a powerful telescope, trailing 15,000km (9,300 miles) behind.
