The Next-Generation Transit Survey
The Next-Generation Transit Survey (NGTS), located at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in northern Chile, saw first light in 2015. The project is designed to search for transiting exoplanets — planets that pass in front of their parent star and hence produce a slight dimming of the star’s light that can be detected by sensitive instruments. The telescopes will focus on discovering Neptune-sized and smaller planets, with diameters between two and eight times that of Earth.
