Discovering an exoplanet is just the beginning.

@ESA_CHEOPS is the first ever space mission designed to go after known exoplanets to unveil their precise sizes, masses and even atmospheres.

How will it do that? Discover here 👉 https://t.co/dgWNTtuixl

1/ A rare star system with 6 #exoplanets has been unlocked with the help of our @ESA_Cheops mission

A special discovery because the planets’ orbital configuration shows that the system is largely unchanged since formation more than a billion years ago

Ein Exoplanet, den es eigentlich nicht geben dürfte. @M_N_Guenther und @ESA_CHEOPS

[ESA CHEOPS – Characterising Exoplanet Satellite @ESA_CHEOPS]

@planetum_cz @esa @KlingaSimon Fantastic work! What an incredible #HackAnExoplanet event, and what a talented, motivated group of outstanding space scientists in this picture! 👏 Thanks for joining and helping CHEOPS unveil the secrets of these exoplanets 🤩

[ESA CHEOPS – Characterising Exoplanet Satellite @ESA_CHEOPS]

Data from #ESACheops revealed new details about an #exoplanet that shouldn’t exist! This shiniest planet known to date has the size of Neptune, has a dayside temp of 2000 °C and metallic clouds. Read more 👉 https://t.co/dXjnfZhxAU
