Astronomers will soon have a new tool for hunting exoplanets, as the W. M. Keck Observatory’s Keck Planet Finder instrument recently took its first observations. KPF’s “first light” observations captured data from Jupiter, demonstrating how the instrument will be able to detect planets beyond our solar system in the future.
The spectrum of Jupiter was captured on Wednesday, November 9, and was followed up by a spectrum of a star called 51 Pegasi which is known to host a planet called 51 Pegasus b. “Seeing KPF’s first astronomical spectrum was a moving experience,” said Andrew Howard, the KPF principal investigator and a professor of astronomy at Caltech, in a statement.
