Indian astronomers find unique method to study atmosphere of planets beyond Solar System

Astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics have now designed a method to study the atmosphere of planets beyond our solar system.

ndian astronomers have found a new method to understand the atmosphere of a planet beyond our solar system by observing the polarisation of light. In our search for life beyond Earth, science has taken us to over 5,000 exoplanets within the Milky Way galaxy, which are rich in water and atmospheric compositions, some bigger than Earth, others even bigger than Jupiter.
