A new study released on Thursday describes a search for what are called "microlensing" events, where a planet acts as a ...

A lonely black hole roaming the cosmos in solitude has been confirmed for the first time. A closer look has revealed the dark ...

Among other settings 2,3,4, table-top optical experiments 5,6,7,8,9,10,11 ... the refractive index structure can mimic gravitational lensing 9,10,11. Other studies explored wave dynamics in ...

A team of scientists from the OGLE (Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment) survey from the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Warsaw have announced the results of nearly 20-year-long ...

Using 20 years’ worth of data from the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE), the team was able to find objects ...

Spotting planets orbiting distant stars is a difficult thing. The OGLE project (that's Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment to you) is scanning the skies for stars that are creating a ...

In 2011, two separate projects – Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) in New Zealand and the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) in Chile – spotted a star that seemed to ...

This microlensing event was detected in 2018 by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) using a telescope in Chile, and the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet). Analyzing the ...

Using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OLGE), astronomers have discovered a planet that's roughly 13,000 light-years from Earth -- one of the ...

And now, astronomers from the OGLE (Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment) project have discovered the smallest rogue planet ever spotted. Most rogue planets discovered so far have been several ...

If confirmed, the newfound rogue planets — which were discovered as part of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) — will join an elite group of only about a dozen or so starless ...

Their names stem from how they were discovered, at the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. The first one could be anywhere from the size of Jupiter ...
