The Transit Method is one of the recent techniques scientists use to search for planets existing outside our solar system, which are referred to as “exoplanets”.
All planets orbit around a star, for example like our sun. Exoplanets are extremely difficult to detect because they appear so dim against the extreme brightness of the parent star. However, astronomers can detect minute fluctuations in that starlight, at repeating orbital intervals, as a particular world passes between us and its sun.
Continuing with grid-based abstraction techniques this study imagines how such a passing might appear to us as digital, low res imaging technology.
