The problem is that these events, in which planets and stars line up just so, are rare and unpredictable. So to capture them, astronomers need to watch a huge number of stars. “You get one lensing event per star per 500,000 years, so that’s a long time to wait,” Gaudi said. “So instead we monitor roughly 100 million stars in the galactic bulge [a densely packed area of stars in the middle of our galaxy] and at any given time, many thousands are being lensed.” … [Read more...] about How the next generation of space telescopes will hunt for habitable exoplanets

As reported by AFP via phys.org, Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russian space agency Roscosmos, recently shared plans about the agency’s future plans for rockets. “We are making a methane rocket to replace the Soyuz-2,” he said in an interview. The agency intends for the first stage of the new rocket to be reusable for at least 100 launches. … [Read more...] about Russia wants to build its own reusable rocket, Roscosmos chief says
