Hubble Directly Observes a Planet Orbiting Another Star
"Estimated to be no more than three times Jupiter's mass, the planet, called Fomalhaut b, orbits the bright southern star Fomalhaut, located 25 light-years away in the constellation Piscis Australis, or the "Southern Fish.""

yakın gelecekte imkansız gibi gözüksede belki birgün o gezegenlerle haberleşmek mümkün olabilir. bu çok heyecan verici birşey. bugün yaşayan nesil olarak bunu göremeyecek olmama üzülüyorum.

Good thing the video cuts off just as the other guy starts to speak. He looked pretty stiff.

you won't never see thing like a close up image of exoplanet, even stars which is thousand times bigger still appear point-like to earthbased telescope, simply they are too far

No. Dang you're such an idiot.

Nibiru doesn't exist. And if it did, it can't orbit Fomalhaut and STILL be here by 2012.

You Nibiru believers are so absent minded.

Although these are "direct" images showing and proving that the 3 orbs that orbit the star are planets, these are still not direct"images of at least a "close up" image of an exoplanet but still good job! I'm looking forward to seeing what an exoplanet looks like up close clearly!
