摘要

2020 年 10 月 29 日，来自华沙大学的天文学家 Przemek Mróz 和一个国际合作小组报告了一个奇特的闪光信号，它来自银河系的另一端。这个信号被命名为 OGLE-2016-BLG-1928，非常微妙。它导致一颗恒星在6小时内变亮和变暗约20%，仅此一次，从未重复。但这一微弱的闪烁却蕴含着巨大的意义：这是首次可信地看到一颗地球大小的 "流氓行星"，一个不与任何恒星相连、在恒星之间自由漂浮的世界。

The Hunt for Rogue Planets: The Galaxy May Hold a Trillion Wandering, Sunless Worlds. So How Do We Find Them?

ON 29 OCTOBER 2020, astronomer Przemek Mróz from the University of Warsaw and an international group of collaborators reported a peculiar flicker of light originating from halfway across our galaxy. The signal, designated OGLE-2016-BLG-1928, was extremely subtle. It caused a single star to brighten and dim by about 20 percent over a 6-hour period, just once, never repeated. But the implication of that little flicker was huge: It was the first credible sighting of an Earth-size “rogue planet,” a world untethered to any star, floating freely between the stars.
