Weve long fantasised about the possibility of life on other planets. But it was only in 1995 that we found the first planet outside our solar system. These exoplanets are hard to find. Of course they are, theyre relatively tiny. And so far theyve mainly been detected indirectly, either by the incredibly slight dimming of a stars light as a planet moves in front of it, or by the wobble of the star caused by something orbiting it. In the last 20 years weve detected about 2000 exoplanets, but we havent actually seen many at all. This is why. Well, the planets are very, very faint compared to a star and theyre very close to a star. The kind of planets where we might find life, an Earth Like Planet Orbiting A Star would be 10 billion times fainter than a star. But if you can see the planets, you can start to look for evidence of life on their surfaces. What you need is something to block out the light of a star. What you need is a star shade. Due to go into space in the middle of the next d

Now on bbc news, its time for click. This week the zoom room boom. But will it continue to bloom . Ai gives your webcam the eye. And paul makes friends with tens of hens. Hey, welcome to click. Hope youre doing 0k. Its been nearly seven months now since we all packed up our camera kits on this programme and took them home. Even back in march we were being told we needed to get ready for the long haul, but im not sure many of us were able to mentally prepare for that properly. How are you doing, lara . Well, i cant believe it has been that long already. I think theres a strange sense of us restarting this again. I suppose things had got a little bit back to normal but now we know we will be continuing for quite a while. One thing that i am starting to feel better about, though, and i think quite a few other people may be as well, is starting to differentiate between home and work life, even though its all happening in one place.
