Imaging Technique May Help Discover Earth-Like Planets Around Other Stars
Melbourne FL (SPX) Feb 26, 2016
One of the biggest quests in astrophysics is to find Earth-like planets around other stars - places where life may exist. Regular telescopes are not good at directly imaging such small objects because a host star's light generally drowns out the relatively dimmer light of a potential planet. But a new development in space imaging may solve that vexing problem. A study led by Florida Institute of Technology astrophysicist Daniel Batcheldor has demonstrated that a charge injection device, or CID, ha ... read more
