At the institute, we mainly use the transit method, watching for that tiny dip in starlight as a planet crosses its face—like checking if a gnat flew past a streetlight from kilometers away. The wobble method measures the star's dance from the planet's gravitational tug. Honestly, the precision needed for wobble always reminds me of trying to predict the monsoon from the smell of the air—theoretical, but you need satellites for the real picture. It’s the transit data, practical and direct, that feels like reading the land itself, which is why I trust it more.
