Exoplanets in Motion: The 3D Printed Edition
This video is part of the Teach with Space - Exoplanets in motion activity. In the advanced 3D Printed Edition, a custom open-source 3D printed mechanism is used to create the circular motion of a model exoplanet and simulate an orbit.
Build your very own model exoplanetary system and learn how scientists study exoplanets with satellites like ESA’s Cheops (CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite).
In this video, students learn how to build an exoplanet transit model to observe and interpret model light curves.
