In early 2023 Cheops satellite will observe two exoplanets, KELT-3b and TOI-560c. An exoplanet is a planet orbiting another star. By joining a Hack an Exoplanet hackathon, teams of secondary students will get to analyse real satellite data collected by Cheops and hack these mysterious alien worlds. In other words, teams will be given the tools to understand what these worlds look like, just like real scientists!

Find out more about this exciting new event in the video below featuring the exoplanet experts Didier Queloz, 2019 Nobel Laureate in Physics and Kate Isaak, ESA project scientist for the Cheops mission, and on the dedicated Hack an Exoplanet web platform.
