For businesses, the gig economy allows for a more agile workforce, scaling labor up or down as needed without the overhead of full-time employees.

Select the sentence that describes a limitation of early exoplanet detection methods.

The study of exoplanets has transformed astronomy. Initially, astronomers could only detect massive "hot Jupiters" orbiting extremely close to their parent stars. These discoveries challenged existing models of planetary formation. Subsequent technological advancements, particularly with the Kepler Space Telescope, enabled the detection of smaller, Earth-sized planets within the "habitable zone," where liquid water could potentially exist. This has shifted the focus of astrobiology from a theoretical discipline to an observational one.
