Scientists Spot Rare Planet at Milky Way’s Edge Using Einstein’s Theory

Astronomers have discovered a rare, Jupiter-sized planet near the edge of the Milky Way using gravitational microlensing—a phenomenon predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity. This groundbreaking find, located 26,000 light-years away, reveals how space-time warping helps detect distant celestial bodies invisible through traditional observation methods.
