Janulis) is one step closer to answering the question, ‘Will the world end with a bang or a whimper?’ Using an array of telescopes around the globe, a team of 23 researchers led by Italian astronomer Dr Roberto Silvotti of the Observatorio Astronomico di Capodimonte in Naples has spent seven years investigating the pulses of the star V391 egasi. This international collaboration has resulted in the discovery of a new planet — Peg V392b — the oldest planet known so far in the universe. The observations were held all over the World.
