Definition

The PLANET (Probing Lensing Anomalies NETwork) was a worldwide collaboration of astronomers that used telescopes spread throughout the Southern Hemisphere to follow up microlensing events discovered by other teams such as OGLE and MOA, in order to search for the short-lived signatures of exoplanets. In 2006, PLANET (along with the RoboNet, OGLE, and MOA collaborations) announced the discovery of the first cool super-Earth planet OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb. The PLANET collaboration ended in 2007. In 2009, a new collaboration, μFUN-PLANET, was initiated.
