The astro-comb allows astronomers to discover Earth-size planets, which are most likely to support extraterrestrial life because larger planets tend to be entirely gaseous and inhospitable to organisms like those on Earth. The laser provides a way to measure the near-imperceptible changes in a star’s light that are induced by orbiting planets. Planet gravity...
