Overview
Since the discovery of the first planet around 51 Pegasi, there has been an increased interest in the search for extra-solar planets. The links below will give you a brief overview of other, commonly used search methods, details of our method of choice (the transit method), as well as additional project background. Each of these sections will give you a little more information on the science behind the project, in terms that are easy to understand.
