Introduction

Welcome Astronomers! We are so happy to have your help. Today, your mission is to help us create a new planet suitable for sustained life. You will be asked a series of questions, each of which will bring you closer and closer to constructing a new habitable planet. The earth we live on today is beautiful in the sense that so many things had to line up perfectly to allow humans to live and thrive on it in this day and age. Today, you will have the opportunity to create a planet just as extraordinary. Proceed with caution, as it only takes one wrong condition for a perfectly good planet to no longer be habitable. Do not worry, though, as we will be there with you every step and will guide you back on course if you start to fall out of orbit. Get ready. Get excited. The fate of life is in your hands. Now it is time to embark on your PLANETure… To start, which detection method would you like to use to identify exoplanets?
