Earth-like Planets May Be Rarer Than We Thought #Exoplanets #GaiaMission #WorldTechnology

What if many of the Earth-sized planets we have discovered are actually much larger? That is the question astronomer Te Han is exploring in a major update to how we interpret exoplanet data.

The transit method has long been a powerful tool for finding planets. But background starlight has always introduced confusion in estimating planet size. Now, with sharper imaging from the TESS telescope and data from the Gaia mission, Te Han and their team have refined how we measure these distant worlds.

Their advanced simulations reveal that some planets we thought were Earth-sized may be significantly larger. This forces scientists to rethink previous discoveries, refine telescope strategies, and approach the search for life with fresh eyes.

We celebrate Te Han and the team for challenging assumptions and advancing the frontier of planetary science.
