Astronomers used methods once theorized by Albert Einstein to find Mysterious and rare planet On the edge of our galaxy.
The planet AT2021UEY B is a Jupiter-sized gas giant located on the galaxy’s raised Earth for about 3,200 light-years. According to a study published in the Journal Astronomy and astrophysics.
According to Live Scence, the shadow of AT2021UEY B was first acquired by the European Space Agency’s Gaia telescope in 2021. Astronomers took several sign-ins to confirm details of the Earth.
According to the study, astronomers used microlenses to discover planets, a method that has been used only three times before.

Microtransparent, based on Einstein’s theory of relativitythe structure of the universe is warped by relying on a large number of objects to pass through the Milky Way, which is called space-time.
Dr Marius Maskoliunas, an astronomer at the University of Vilnius and co-author of the study, discussed the workload of using this method in a statement released on Phys.org.
“This kind of work requires a lot of expertise, patience and candid luck. You have to wait a long time to keep the source star and the lens object aligned and then check the large amount of data,” Maskoliunas said in a statement. “For various other reasons, ninety percent of the stars observed, and only a few cases have shown microlensing effects.”

Using microlenses, astronomers are able to find these distant objects as they move in front of stars, causing light to bend around the planet’s curves. (That)
According to this study, Microtransparent occurs When a huge celestial body places itself directly in front of a more distant star.
As the planet lands in front of the star on its journey, the light begins to bend the earth, amplifying the star’s light. According to the study, astronomers are looking for this temporary amplified light.

“What fascinates me is that it can detect those invisible bodies. Imagine a bird flying past you. You can’t see the bird itself, you don’t know what color it is, only its shadow,” Maskoliunas said in the statement. “But, from it, you can determine with a certain degree of probability whether it is a sparrow or a swan, and how far it is from us. It’s an incredibly interesting process.”

According to Live Science, nearly 6,000 planets have been discovered since 1992, using two more common practices called emission photometry and radial velocity.
These more common practices will Detect planets Due to the above planet, the star through the master becomes dim. They will also detect the sway of the planet’s gravitational tension that occurs.
