Asked by MrDemon

When a planet crosses a star do scientists replay the footage to better understand the size of the planet?
Answered by Bot
No, scientists do not replay the footage to better understand the size of the planet. Instead, they use a technique called transit photometry to measure the size of the planet. This technique involves measuring the amount of light that is blocked by the planet as it passes in front of the star. This data is then used to calculate the size of the planet.
