Have scientists finally confirmed the existence of the first exomoon? This is what a study released on the preprint server arXiv, and accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics, hopes to ...
Researchers for half a century have tried — and failed — to use the motion of stars moving across the sky to discover planets that lie beyond the solar system. Now a team has finally used the method, ...
A new search engine will soon turn your night sky images into powerful research data and identify the twinkling objects in them with just the click of a button. The Astrometry.net database will hunt ...
Background. Relative astrometry at or below the microarcsec level with a 1 m class space telescope has been repeatedly proposed as a tool for exo-planet detection and characterization, as well as for ...
Chinese astronomers have proposed a space telescope survey program to search for habitable exoplanets some 32 light-years from Earth. This would be the world's first space exploration mission ...
The century-old brass telescope was broken in places and long past its useful life — but it captured Lennart Lindegren's heart. Forty years ago, when Lindegren was a graduate student at the Lund ...
On the surface, it is a call to action for the world's astronomers: a global 'training exercise' to get better at tracking a fuzzy, unpredictable comet. But online, a different, more terrifying theory ...
