So far #microlensing surveys have been done mostly from the ground and it's hard work. We need to look at very crowded star fields close to the centre of our #Galaxy. But the #Earths #atmosphere blurs the stars, making it difficult to tell them apart. It would be easier to do this with a dedicated #space #telescope.
#NASA is currently building the #NancyGraceRomanSpaceTelescope. #Roman will conduct a dedicated microlensing survey capable of finding cool planets as small as #Mars. (4/n)
