Transit Photometry Analysis

When a planet crosses in front of its star, it blocks a tiny amount of light. We call this a Transit.

Hint: A massive Gas Giant creates a deep, wide dip in the light curve. A smaller Rocky planet creates a shallow, narrow dip. Analyze the telescope data below and classify the planet!
