Nexus for Exoplanet System Science

Nexus for exoplanet science is a special type of telescope that is designed to help us study distant planets that are outside our Solar System. With it, scientists can observe planets orbiting other stars, called exoplanets. Exoplanets can't be seen directly, so the Nexus telescope uses special techniques to help us learn more about them. It has very powerful instruments to help scientists see how bright the planets are, how quickly they are moving, and even what they are made of. With its help, scientists can learn more about our galaxy and how exoplanets form, which helps us understand how our own Solar System came to be.
