Saturn-sized 'Rogue Planet' drifting without an orbit... discovered via joint KR-EU observation - News1 Reporter Yoon Ju-young. KASI's KMTNet telescope and GAIA space telescope collab. First case of pinpointing distance from Earth... providing clues to planetary system evolution.
South Korea and Europe teamed up to find a Saturn-mass rogue planet through ground-space joint observation. They accurately measured the distance and mass by using both ground and space telescopes simultaneously.
KASA announced on Jan 2nd that an international research team, including the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI), used Korea's 'KMTNet' and the ESA's 'GAIA' space telescope to discover a Saturn-mass rogue planet.
"Users are blown away by the sci-fi-level technology used to find a tiny planet 10,000 light-years away, while others find the idea of a 'homeless' planet drifting in eternal darkness both cool and a bit spooky."
