Researchers identified the likely planetary candidate’s infrared light after blocking out its host star’s overwhelming glare

The first ever space telescope, the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory 2 (OAO-2), was launched into the low Earth orbit in 1968 aboard an Atlas-Centaur rocket, as per the National Space Centre.
