It is called using averted vision. It is better because cone cells, located in the center of the eye are used to detect light and color and are not so useful at night. Rod cells are located off of center and are used to detect dim objects, such as faint stars. For best results right handed folks should look slightly to the left and left handed folks to the right.

How did scientist discover exoplanets?

They are very difficult to detect as they cannot be seen directly; trying to see a relatively dark object (exoplanet) next to a very bright object (star) is virtually impossible. But they can be detected indirectly by several means:the star and the exoplanet orbit each other causing the star's location to "wobble"if the orbit of the exoplanet is in the plane of the earth/star then it will eclipse the star and these periodic dimmings of the star can be detectedthe star and the exoplanet orbit each other causing doppler shifts in the star's spectral linesetc.
