Einstein's Theory Confirms Rare Exoplanet Discovery
Astronomers used Einstein's theory of relativity (microlensing) to discover AT2021uey b, a Jupiter-sized gas giant 3,200 light-years away, orbiting a dwarf star with a 4,170-day orbital period; this marks only the fourth successful detection using this method.
