NASA's Roman telescope launches to hunt distant planets via gravity lens

Roman's gravitational microlensing method explained

1 Sep 14 · 9d ago · 1 article · 1 source · development 1 of 2

Research Associate Professor Thomas Fauchez of American University details how Roman will use gravitational microlensing to detect exoplanets without directly seeing them, by monitoring hundreds of millions of stars for temporary brightness changes caused by foreground stars' gravity bending light from background stars.

“It is like looking though a magnifying glass, except there is no glass. The lens is gravity itself.”
