Astronomers have located a rare exoplanet on the edge of the Milky Way.

Meanwhile, gravitational microlensing (usually just called microlensing) involves searching for increases in brightness in deep space.

“Gravitational microlensing enables us to study a variety of objects with masses ranging from that of exoplanets to black holes,” the researchers said in the first of two studies soon to be ...

Gravitational microlensing is a "rare phenomenon," the researchers said. There have only been three such cases of a planet being documented by microlensing in the history of observations, ...
