Prompt
1. Phase Folding (The Accordion Fold) Imagine taking a long strip of paper that shows the star's brightness over several months. You guess that a planet orbits the star every 5 days. To test this guess, you fold the long strip of paper like an accordion, making a crease exactly every 5 days. If your 5-day guess is perfectly correct, all the tiny dips in brightness (the planet's shadow) will stack directly on top of each other, making the signal much stronger and easier to see. If your guess is wrong, the dips will be scattered randomly. 2. Grid Searching (Sliding the Stencil) Now that you have your folded stack of data, you need to find out exactly where the dip is and how wide it is. Think of taking a piece of cardboard and cutting a U-shaped or box-shaped hole in it—this represents the planet blocking the light. You slide this stencil from left to right across your folded data. You also try swapping out different stencils (wider boxes for planets that take longer to cross the star
