New research led by the University of Michigan is helping set the stage for future observatories to characterize rocky planets outside our solar system, planets that could prove life isn't confined to Earth. The new research represents the most sensitive modern search for giant planets in a nearby binary system-a system with two stars orbiting each other-known as 70 Ophiuchi AB, or 70 Oph AB.
