Summary
| Description |
Deutsch: Die Grafik zeigt die Umlaufbahn eines Gesteinsplaneten im Vorbeizug an seinem Zentralstern. Während des Transits verdunkelt der Planet die Sternscheibe. Gleichzeitig dringt ein winziger Teil des Sternenlichts durch die atmosphärische Schicht des Planeten. Während Gliese 486b seine Umlaufbahn fortsetzt, werden Teile der beleuchteten Hemisphäre wie Mondphasen sichtbar, bis der Planet hinter dem Stern verschwindet.
English: The graph illustrates the orbit of a transiting rocky exoplanet around its host star. During transit, the planet obscures the stellar disk. Simultaneously, a tiny portion of the starlight passes through the planet’s atmospheric layer. While Gliese 486b continues to orbit, parts of the illuminated hemisphere become visible like lunar phases until the planet vanishes behind the star. |
