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, ...
Astronomers are testing a quieter way of searching for moons beyond the solar system, using careful measurements of motion rather than changes in ligh.
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 ...
Over the last 20 years Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor interferometric astrometry has produced precise and accurate parallaxes of astrophysical interesting stars and mass estimates for ...
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 ...
When not performing OSETI observations, appropriately trained observers can make precise measurements of the position and magnitude of recently discovered or poorly observed asteroids and comets.
