När en planet är i omloppsbana runt en stjärna så kan det hända att planeten blockerar en del ljus som stjärnThe first planet orbiting a main-sequence star was discovered in 1995. Since then more than 4000 additional exoplanets have been discovered. This is a rapidly evolving field in astrophysics. One of the most common ways to detect an exoplanet is through transit, as the brightness of the host star decreases.
