Portrait of an exoplanet

https://www.mpg.de/15473085/portrait-of-an-exoplanet

A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institutes for Astronomy and Extraterrestrial Physics has now succeeded in obtaining the first direct confirmation of a previously discovered exoplanet using the method of radial velocity measurement. Using the the GRAVITY instrument at the VLT telescopes in Chile, the astronomers observed the faint glint of the planet Beta Pictoris c, some 63 light-years away from Earth, next to the bright rays of its mother star. The researchers can now derive both the brightness and the dynamic mass of an exoplanet from these observations and thus better narrow down the formation models of these objects.

What does the energy of the future look like? This question is the focus of this edition of our science magazine. With nuclear fusion, Max Planck researchers are breaking new ground in producing large quantities of electricity in a way that conserves resources. Fundamental physical and technical problems, however, are still open. Scientists are also working on suitable storage facilities for wind and solar power. And they are looking for catalysts and production processes to harness carbon dioxide.
