Astrocomb breakthrough could help discover Earth-like planets | Science & Tech News
admin
New Earth-like planets could soon be discovered after scientists made a technological breakthrough. Physicists have developed an astrocomb that can analyse the blue-green light emitted by stars. Astrocombs can detect tiny variations in a star’s light created by orbiting exoplanets (those beyond our own solar system) – potentially revealing one similar to Earth. They have…
