It starts with observations of Trappist-1, a star system only 40 light-years from earth. It ends with finding the planets among the massaged data. Along the way you learn how to clean up data, what we are looking for, and how to find the actual planets.

This book challenges you to become a planet-hunter yourself. Together you and your trusty silicon companion go on a journey to explore the riches of the universe. So put on your science hat and go find those planets.
