Difference between Coronagraph and Methods of detecting exoplanets

Coronagraph vs. Methods of detecting exoplanets

A coronagraph is a telescopic attachment designed to block out the direct light from a star so that nearby objects – which otherwise would be hidden in the star's bright glare – can be resolved. Any planet is an extremely faint light source compared to its parent star.

Similarities between Coronagraph and Methods of detecting exoplanets

Coronagraph and Methods of detecting exoplanets have 18 things in common (in Unionpedia): European Space Agency, Exoplanet, Fomalhaut, Hale Telescope, HR 8799, Hubble Space Telescope, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Jupiter, Moon, NASA, New Worlds Mission, Optical vortex, Optothermal stability, Palomar Observatory, Photometry (astronomy), Star, Sun, The Astrophysical Journal.

European Space Agency

The European Space Agency (ESA; Agence spatiale européenne, ASE; Europäische Weltraumorganisation) is an intergovernmental organisation of 22 member states dedicated to the exploration of space.
