Rogue Planet's Mass & Distance Measured For First Time! KeysDAN Show #Science #KeysDANShow @KeysDAN
For the first time, scientists have measured both the mass and distance of a rogue planet – a world drifting alone in space. Using gravitational microlensing and a lucky break from the Gaia spacecraft, they overcame a long-standing challenge. This allowed them to determine the mass of this Saturn-mass wanderer, estimated to be about 22% the mass of Jupiter, located roughly 10,000 light-years away. #RoguePlanet #Astronomy #SpaceDiscovery #Exoplanets #Microlensing
