YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA remarkable method in astronomy uses transiting exoplanets to measure the average density of the parent star. By comparing this value to other ways of measuring a star's density, astronomers can learn more about the planet, such as its orbital shape. Prof Kipping breaks down how this is possible in a simplified way and explains how "Asterodensity Profiling" is becoming an important tool in astronomy.
