Washington: Astronomers expect NASA s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope to find one lakh planets using two different techniques as it surveys a wide range of stars in the Milky Way.
Scheduled for launch in the mid-2020s, Roman will be one of NASA s most prolific planet hunters, the US space agency said on Wednesday.
Roman will locate these potential new worlds, or exoplanets, by tracking the amount of light coming from distant stars over time.

A new study has found that a share of particles that has been challenging to locate is most likely sprinkled across the distant bounds of galaxy halos. The study found some of these particles of baryonic matter are located up to 6 million light-years from their galactic centers.

Researchers have channeled the universe’s earliest light – a relic of the universe’s formation known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB) – to solve a missing-matter mystery and learn new things about galaxy formation. Their work could also help us to better understand dark energy and test Einstein’s theory of general relativity by providing new details about the rate at
