While Jantzen and O’Connor will be the only Harvard representatives at NCAAs, junior Tommy Picarsic also posted an outstanding weekend.

A team from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics confirmed last week the existence of the largest planet detected and the lightest in weight for a planet of its size. Using Hungarian-designed amateur telescopes, Harvard astronomer Gaspar Bakos led his group in the discovery of HAT-P-1, which stands for “the first planet detected by a Hungarian Automated Telescope.” With four-inch apertures, these miniature telescopes, some of the smallest in the world...
