Exoplanet Detection & Characterization
[A Very Brief Synopsis]
The NASA space missions Kepler and TESS have demonstrated that planets are ubiquitous, completely revolutionizing exoplanet science. In fact, one of the most signficant Kepler discoveries was the prevalance of planets between the sizes of Earth and Neptune, something for which our very own solar system lacked an analogue.
