🌠 #TBT with #Exo4Edu! 🇷🇴
On Dec 10, students from Babeș-Bolyai University guided 7th graders through an exoplanet learning experience at the Cluj Astronomical Observatory. 🪐☄️🔭
Two teachers from the first Albanian training course carried out their own #Exo4Edu activities! 🪐
This week, we showcase the activity by teacher Ornela Kurti, where the 10th grade students presented planetary systems before a jury and created their own 3D-based video explaining planetary motion. 🎓
After the first Albanian #Exo4Edu training course, 2 teachers carried out educational activities about the project! 🪐
Today, we share one of them: During Mathematics–Physics professional network, Aida Dedja (from Elbasan) presented the Exo4Edu platform and how it can be used as a learning resource.

📡 #EXOPLANETS 101 with #Exo4Edu 🪐
In 1999, astronomers from the San Francisco State University and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics discovered the first known multi-planet system around a Sun-like star. 🌟
The star Upsilon Andromedae was found to host not one, but multiple planets!

What makes a planet “just right”?
It might be in the habitable zone: the area around a star where temperatures could allow liquid water on a planet’s surface.
It’s a key idea in the search for life beyond Earth! 🔭

Exciting news in the #Exoplanet world! 🪐
Using mid-infrared spectroscopy with the #JWST, a team of researchers discovered a long-lived circumplanetary disk around the young, accreting exoplanet, Delorme 1AB b.
This is one of the first JWST detections of a circumplanetary disk! 🔍

🌠 Today is a #TBT on #Exo4Edu!
We’re looking back at the Astronomy Youth Peace AstroCamp 2025, where Prof. Mimoza Hafizi (Executive Director of the National Institute of Physics, Albania 🇦🇱) shared a lecture on exoplanets and Exo4Edu, sparking interest among Kosovar teachers and youth. 🪐

🗺️ In May 2007, David Charbonneau and Heather Knutson created the first map of an exoplanet!
Using data from the Spitzer Space Telescope, they mapped the surface of HD 189733 b, a hot Jupiter located 64 light-years away.

At the end of September, the #Exo4Edu team gathered at the @obs-paris-psl.bsky.social for its second face-to-face project meeting! 🔭
Partners from 🇫🇷 🇦🇱 🇷🇴 🇵🇹 came together to evaluate the progress and implementation of this exciting initiative.
👉 Read more about it on exo4edu.eu/exo4edu-seco...
On Sunday, 47 🇵🇹 teachers joined an engaging Exo4Edu workshop led by Gustavo Rojas (#GHOU) during the Portuguese Science on Stage Festival 2025! 🪐
The session explored how exoplanet research can be brought into the classroom. 💫 💫

Do you know how exoplanets get their names? 🤔
Each one is named after the star it orbits, followed by a lowercase letter. The first planet discovered gets the letter “b”, then come c, d, and so on. 🔤
