Animation of a transiting planet
The lower panel shows real data of a transit of the planet of the star HD209458.
(Observations were performed in the night of 26-27 July 2000 by Deeg and
Garrido at the 0.9m Sierra Nevada Telescope of IAA, Granada). The upper panel shows a simulation
of the transit, with realistic size-relations between the planet and the
star.
