Astronomy student, Kevin, used this science to discover his own planet. Physics - Universe - Learning Points. Planet hunters use powerful telescopes to examine distant stars. Kevin Apps, a first-year astronomy student, realised that the planet hunters at the KECK telescope were looking in the wrong place. Kevin Apps recommended new stars to the KECK telescope astronomers, using an astronomical catalogue. Kevin Apps discovered a new planet which he named Kevin. A Twig Context Film. Reinforce and extend the learning required by the curriculum. Twig’s context films show abstract concepts in action in the real world.\n
