About This Visualization

• Demonstrates transit photometry for exoplanet detection via periodic stellar flux attenuation during planetary transits.

• The "Simulated Light Curve" graph plots relative stellar brightness, showing a dip when a planet passes between the star and the camera.

• Transit depth and duration analysis yields planet-star radius ratios and constrains orbital parameters.

• Temporal Scaling: CoRoT-2b's orbital period (1.74 d) is scaled for visualization.

• Rendered using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with the Three.js library. Features procedural GLSL shaders (including FBM noise) for the star, sky, and nebulas, and utilizes Keplerian algorithms for calculating orbital positions.
