Like other teams positioned in a 1500 - kilometer - wide swath across South America, the astronomers had started out the night with one mission: They intended to measure the size of Chariklo, an icy body that circles the sun between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus.

So thirsty are theorists for new insights into black holes and relativistic processes that, with each LIGO detection, observational astronomers have leapt into action to target those enormous patches of sky, hoping to see some afterglow or other emission of electromagnetic radiation — even though by definition the resulting larger black hole should emit no light.

Astronomers believe it formed after a giant planet between 1 and 20 times the mass of Jupiter was scattered out of the main disc by gravitational interactions with other bodies there.

Funding for astronomy is far more limited than that available for cancer research, say, and compared with most other fields of science, the number of professional astronomers is astonishingly small (the membership of the American Astronomical Society would just about fit into Radio City Music Hall).

When NASA's Kepler space telescope launched in March 2009, astronomers had no proof that any star other than the sun harbored an Earth - sized planet (with a diameter within 25 percent of Earth's).
