A pair of Stanford University astrophysicists have proposed a new way to use gravitational lensing that would be up to 1,000 times more precise than current methods. The hope is to use the concept to take better photos of distant planets.
While astronomers have discovered more than 5,000 planets orbiting other stars in the galaxy, the first of which was discovered in 1992, not much can be…
