Planet-Finding Technology Visible Nulling Coronagraph Passes Another Hurdle

Researchers are developing innovating planet-finding technology that will help locate Earth-like planets in other solar systems and study their atmospheres to identify chemical signatures of life. The instrument, called the Visible Nulling Coronagraph (VNC), combines an interferometer with a coronagraph — in itself a first. It’s well on its way to demonstrating operations over a […]
