Astronomers Propose Rectangular Telescope to Hunt Earth-Like Planets
Astronomers are exploring a revolutionary space telescope design with a long, narrow primary mirror instead of a traditional circular one. A 20×1 m rectangular mirror concentrates resolution along its length, enabling it to separate Earth-like planets from their stars at ~30 light-years in infrared light. Rotating the telescope 90° captures plane...

Telescope Using Sun's Gravitational Lens Could Help Detect Signs of Life on Exoplanets, Researchers Say
NASA has funded a project to develop a telescope that would help observe exoplanets by using the gravitational lens of the Sun, according to a new report. The telescope could eventually be used to detect life on nearby exoplanets, and the project has receieved funding as part of NIAC's three-phase program.

Telescope detects possible Earth-size planet
Scientists working with NASA's Kepler satellite reported on Thursday that they might have spotted a planet just 1.5 times the diameter of Earth around a Sun-like star 2,000 light-years away. "We're still in the process of confirming this candidate is a planet," said Matthew Holman, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, at a NASA-spons...
