The VLBA radio telescope network has discovered a massive exoplanet — similar to Saturn — orbiting a nearby star. And they did it using a revolutionary technique first envisioned more than a century ago. A planet as large as Saturn named TVLM 513b has been spotted orbiting a cool, dim star just 35 light-years away by astronomers using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) ALMA network of radio telescopes. Using a cutting-edge network of radio telescopes, astronomers found this world utilizing a technique first envisioned more than a century ago. As large as Saturn, TVLM 513b traces out an orbit…
