This project uses the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia. You will use this website to create graphs and plots of exoplanet data. 

Your task is to try to identify trends or patterns within the plots. The database gives you 36 parameters (or properties) to choose from. This means, if you had the time, you could create 1,260 different graphs! 

Knowing more about exoplanets will help you to analyse and interpret the data.
