Astronomers use a method called transit photometry to detect distant worlds by observing the slight dimming of a star's light when an orbiting body passes in front of it. This innovative technique allows for the identification of both the size and orbital period of these distant celestial bodies, but it can be challenging when the orbiting bodies are small or far from their stars.
