Maanvinder Pilania - A Journey To TOI 849-b

The 365 Days of Astronomy - A podcast by 365DaysOfAstronomy.org

Located around 730 light years away from Earth, TOI-849b was discovered in November 2020 by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using a method called Transit. In this method, TESS looked for a dip in the light coming from the stars. If a planet passes directly between the star and the observer’s line of sight, it blocks out a tiny portion of light coming from the star.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
