一个新的巡天项目开始运作,它将帮助我们搜寻与地球相似的系外行星,甚至有望找到“第二个地球”。这套系统安装在南美洲智利的高海拔沙漠之中,名为“下一代凌星巡天”(NGTS),它将自动扫描夜空,寻找它的目标。该项目是一个广域巡天观测系统,包括一个包含12台望远镜的阵列,每一台成员望远镜的口径均为20厘米

“下一代凌星巡天”(NGTS)由一个阵列的20厘米口径望远镜组成,将致力于发现海王星大小甚至更小的系外行星,其直径大致介于地球直径的2~8倍之间

The Next-Generation Transit Survey is made up of an array of twelve 20cm telescopes, and will focus on discovering Neptune-sized and smaller planets, with diameters two and eight times that of Earth.
