The CARMENES Project Boosts The Number Of Known Planets In The Solar Neighbourhood - Astrobiology
The CARMENES program, led by a consortium of Spanish and German research institutions, in which the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) is a partner, has released 20,000 observations of more than 300 stars.
