Astronomers “Weigh” a Rogue Planet and Pin Down Mass and Distance for a Starless World This is a first for planetary researchers.

Misurate per la prima volta la massa e la distanza di un pianeta errante Gli astronomi sono riusciti per la prima volta a misurare massa e distanza di un pianeta errante grazie a un raro evento di microlensing...

Per la prima volta, grazie alla tecnica del #microlensing gravitazionale, gli scienziati hanno misurato con precisione la massa e la distanza di un #pianeta errante, ovvero un pianeta che non orbita attorno a una stella.

Con la massa di Saturno, ma orfano di sole Scoperto un pianeta vagante con una massa simile a quella di Saturno a circa diecimila anni luce dal centro della Via Lattea. L’oggetto vagabondo è stato scoperto grazie al microlensing gravitazionale...

Solitari e #vagabondi, i #pianeti senza stella sono difficilissimi da individuare. Figuriamoci misurarne la massa... Ora però, grazie a una serie fortunata d’osservazioni da terra e dallo spazio, un team guidato da Subo Dong della Peking University è riuscito nell’impresa. #microlensing #parallasse

Super-Earths are common across the Cosmos, astronomers find [via OSU] 🧪🌌🔭🔵🌐

"findings in this study were made via #microlensing, an observational effect that occurs when the presence of mass warps the fabric of space-time"
