Method evidence record
Transit Photometry
Transit photometry is an observational technique that detects exoplanets by monitoring the periodic dips in stellar brightness as planets cross in front of their host stars. First systematized by William Borucki in 1984, this method became the most successful exoplanet detection technique, with the Kepler space telescope discovering thousands of confirmed exoplanets using this approach.
